Think Dots Activity
Before each profile, role the die to see what question you’ll be in “charge of” for that particular student. After that student is introduced, you’ll have a few minutes to gather your thoughts before sharing them with your group mates.
Describe ONE of these kids in terms of his/her strengths
and needs.
Pretend you are the parent of ONE of these kids. What would you hope
school would be like for him/her, ideally?
List at least 3 attributes of your
school district that would be especially beneficial for all of
these kids.
What do ALL of these kids have
in common?
Imagine you’re a teacher of ONE of these kids. What
would you be thankful for?
Come up with some “soundbites” that a
parent or teacher might hear from ONE of these kids on any given day.
