27. SIX DEGREES OF EXPECTATIONS (Writing, Feedback)
Description: Six Degrees of Expectations is an anticipatory set activity.
Application: This activity is meant to whet the class’s appetite for the subject at hand.
Process: Introduce the topic that will be covered in class. Tell students to write three facts they expect to learn about the topic and set aside as the expectations sheet. After the lesson, return students’ attention to their expectations sheet and ask them to mark, on a scale of one to five, five being the most, how their expectations matched with the lesson taught. (Possible follow-up activities include low-stakes writing, partner share, or a parking lot activity in which each student leaves a Post-it of ideas he expected to learn about but were not covered by the actual lesson, thus enabling the teacher to address the ideas the next class meeting.)
