Communication Continued

This Thursday students perfected their “sandwiches.” The sandwich method is commonly used to deliver bad news, and involves stating a positive, the complaint/offense, offering a resolution or plan and then ending on a positive statement.

Families constructed their own complement sandwiches addressing one of their students who did not follow a class rule.  We had some very creative takes on a compliment sandwich (see below).

To gain more practices, students also drafted an email home to a parent of “Bobby Brown” handling a discipline or academic issue. Students are currently working on writing their very own class newsletter, syllabus, and welcome home letter that they will save in their portfolio and can possibly use in their own classroom one day.
