Thinking and Communicating With Clarity and Precision


Activity
Materials
Pen/ paper/ lemons/knife

Divide the Home Group into 2 groups.

Group 1
Each student writes a set of instructions for how to make a paper plane

Group 2
Each student writes a set of instructions for how to squeeze a lemon

Select a student from Group 1 to give their instructions to a student from Group 2 who will
then follow the instructions to make the plane. The rest of the class watches. Allow students
from Group 1 to help modify the instructions until a paper plane is successfully constructed.

Do the same for the lemon. Do not just allow them to do it –they must follow the
instructions exactly.

Debrief, focusing on the accuracy of language.
