2017-2018 Day 1: Welcome!

-WELCOME TO YOUR BRAND NEW 

FRANKLIN HIGH SCHOOL!


-Have a seat where you'd like for today 

(seating chart later)

-You can hang backpacks on the hooks 

on your tables, or at the back of the 

room.


In science, we work to generate a CLAIM. 

These claims can be supported by 

EVIDENCE and REASONING. 










Do a '30 Second Mystery' to practice 

C.E.R...'Austin's Odd Occupation'


-Brief Classroom Norms & Agreements


Agreements are an aspiration or collective vision for how we want to be in relationship with one another. They are developed and enforced by the group, not an authority.
Example Agreements: Speak your truth without blame and judgement. Be fully present to each other and the work. Take responsibility for your actions and words.

Norms are the ways in which we behave.
Example Norms: Don't speak when others are speaking. Honor others' opinions. Be present and listen fully.

-Building Community:


 Four Corners Name Tent Activity

-Please get a writing utensil and a piece 

of paper from the middle table in your

1.Fold paper short end to short end, then 

unfold. Fold ends back in to meet the 

crease.

2. Unfold all the way flat

3. Write your preferred name on inner two 

rectangles BIG

    
(both sides of tent, facing the correct 

direction); decorate!


4. On one side only: 

Upper left corner - Your current favorite 


band/musical artist/artist

Upper right corner - Your favorite science 

class or coolest science fact that you know

Bottom left corner - Something fun you did 

over the summer


Bottom right corner - How you're feeling at 

the moment



5. Pair up with someone you don't already 

know and take turns introducing yourself 

using your name tent, telling them your 

four corner answers

6. Once you've shared with your partner, 

we'll go around the room and you'll be 

responsible for introducing your partner to 

the class, sharing their name and one of 

their corner answers.


Last 10 minutes: check in. What do you 

need?

look forward to the year ahead with you!
