BOARD = PAPER

• Our second 21st Century Skill, COLLABORATION, is the ability of people to work together to achieve a goal.

• This skill MATTERS. Remember: One of the top ten biggest reasons people lose their jobs is not working well with others.

• Open to page 182 of the 7 Habits…

Power Teaching

• 1) I walk you through something, using hand movements and a quick summary. You MIRROR what I’m doing as I explain.

• 2) I say Teach… you say “OKAY!”• 3) You explain it to your partner. Your partner

explains it to you.• 4) When I say “Class,” you say “Yes.”• 5) And fin.

Silently and Independently…

• Q: Why are we working silently and independently on a day we’re learning about Collaboration?

• A: Because in real life, you go into every situation with your own thoughts, feelings, and attitudes. We’re going to be doing the same here.

3 Rules of Respectful Listening

• 1) Summarizing.• 2) Eye contact.• 3) Feedback. (Helpful, supportive!)

COLLABORATION• How this will work: I am timing everything.• 1 minute: Define the problem with your neighbor.

Discuss what you see as the worst part of the situation.• 2 minutes: Partner 1 shares the 8 things they would

keep. Partner 2 summarizes, gives eyes, gives feedback.• 2 minutes: Partner 2 shares the 8 things they would

keep. Partner 1 summarizes, gives eyes, gives feedback.• DON’T WRITE ANYTHING UNTIL:• 3 minutes: BRAINSTORM. Come up with new ideas or

discuss whose ideas were stronger. Then, HIGH WAY. Come up with the best list of all.

Reflection

• It’s important to think hard about how we communicate after the fact. It’s the only way we get better.

• You will be graded on the honesty of your reflection, completing the entire sheet, and discussing what we read today.
