Direct Instruction
Over the first week of the year, I conduct a few team building activities a day in order to generate discussion about the class treaty.
We also complete learning tasks such as writing an introduction on our blogs, learning to navigate the class site and reading a letter from myself and responding to it.
Following the activities we discuss the behaviours that support our class to be successful; from following the kawa of care on the chromebooks, listening to others ideas in group work and being willing to work with anyone in the games. This becomes the foundation for our class treaty.
