//(see previous class) Today the three groups will be involved in an "assessment activity" to determine whether they learned about "the islands." // //Afterwards, the groups will get together to discuss what they learned and why and how the learning process was conducted. Finally, they will design a collective review sheet designating specific information or skills that everyone in the class should be responsible for. //


 * After this is completed, the group will begin work on the "worst country question." This means that each person or team of two people choose a country that they believe is the worst country in which to live from SaCai. Using data, each person or pair must develop an argument proving that their choice is the worst country. A power point is an acceptable way to present this data, but an oral presentation is necessary. The groups will get together in the next class period to debate their choices. NO TWO GROUPS CAN CHOOSE THE SAME COUNTRY--the countries will be "given away" by Mr. HARVEY (if you are in Mr. Harvey's class)/ Ms. NGUYEN (if you are in Ms. NGUYE's GD) on a first-come, first-served basis. **
