My activity would start with a positive truth and a negative truth about myself. And maybe something I felt about the class. I'm also toying with the idea of an "I get it" and "I don't get it" freewrite, where students talk about how it is working or not working for them. These aren't really activities, but they might help. I've never tried either of these, so you know. :-) Gracias, Nanosh ________________________________________ From: ola-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [ola-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Franky Stebbins [stebbins.mf@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2012 9:24 PM To: ola@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ola] brilliant OLA-filled ideas wanted Hi All, As I prep for another English day, I'm looking for your input and expertise in regards to trust-building activities that have worked for you in your classrooms. I'd also LOVE it if someone has some video clips of activities/games that you'd be willing to share. If so, please send them my way! Thank you! Franky Stebbins
