ABSTRACT
The next day in each class I set up the room with pairs of students (see A Pairs Class, on page 4) and lay the name cards on the desktops, greeting the students at the door with a handshake and “name reminder” exchange. “Mr. Strebe, where do we sit?” The instruction is given to find your card and sit there with your partner for today. For some classes, having a written record of pairings might be a good idea; funny how some of those cards have legs. The first activity is to use the syllabus and do Pairs Rehearsal.
