Optimistic Meet and Greet - Principled Approach to Warm Up Design - In-Service V, 2018

Optimistic Meet and Greet

1) Students mingle around the room and introduce themselves.
2) They should use a unique greeting and gesture for each person (ex. "Hey, how are you? What's up?", Handshake, Fistbump, Bow, etc)
3) They express a unique and optimistic prediction/hope for that person this term (ex. "I hope you will speak only in English! I think you will learn a lot of vocabulary. I hope you will correct my errors if I make a mistake. etc".)
4) Students make a circle and the teacher throws a ball to one student who says his/her name and the best hope/prediction that they recieved. This student passes the ball to someone else.



Use your handout as a reference to answer these questions:

-Does this warm up fit into one or more of the five categories? 
-What function(s) does this warm up serve?
-What principles are present/missing?
-How might you adapt, improve, or expand upon this warm up?
