APPOINTMENT CLOCKS

Appointments (not partners!)

Directions:
1. Have the students draw  a clock with the times 12, 1, 2,….on it. 
2. Tell the students to make 12 different appointments with various classmates.  Do not allow duplication of names.
3. Remind them that the other person should also record their name
a. Sandy has Mickey down for a 12:00 appointment
b. Mickey has Sandy down for a 12:00 appointment
4. This can be adapted if you have larger classes by using the half hour increments.
5. The students will choose their friends at the beginning but will venture out throughout the class with new partners as they fill up their clocks.
6. Collect the clocks and copy for future reference.  Pass them back and inform the students they will need to refer to this sheet whenever there is paired/partner work to be done.
7. On the day of an assignment-do not allow them to choose their partners, instead just tell them to locate their _____ time appointment and have them work together.  Be sure to record which time you have used so you can use of the times during the course of the grading period/semester.
8. This works well with all ages, abilities and promotes diversity! :o)
