Give guidance and feedback to students' plans, encouraging, refining, and helping them to be responsible for their own learning. Maintain high expectations for completion of chosen options. Summarize by reviewing the whole, bringing students "full circle" to the experience with which the learning began.

How we Sorted

Objective: To give students the opportunity to share their groupings with the rest of the class.

Activity: The class, as a whole, will have the task of deciding how each group of students sorted their "junk" (macaroni, keys, buttons, beans, etc.).

Assessment: Students' correct classifications will enable the rest of the class to decipher the similarity.
