Teacher calls, “Freeze” and students freeze. 3. Teacher asks a question to which the answer is a number. Think Time. (Examples: How many planets are there in our solar system? What direction is X from Y? KEY: North = 1, South = 2, East = 3, West = 4) 4. Teacher calls “Group” and students group according to the number. 5. Students in their groups discuss a question provided by the teacher. (Examples: Can you name the planets in the solar system? For Classbuilding, any of the questions from the Fan-N-Pick or Inside-Outside Circle pages are suitable.) 6. Students not in groups go to the “Lost and Found”. Once students are familiar with Mix-Freeze-Group, the students in Lost and Found can be the ones to generate or ask the questions. Have a rule in place: no one can be in Lost and Found twice. Mix-Pair-Share Setup: Teacher prepares discussion questions to ask students. 1. Students silently mix around the room. 2. Teacher calls “Pair.” 3. Students pair up with person closest to them and do a high five. Students who haven’t found a partner raise their hands to find each other. 4. Teacher asks a question and gives think time. 5. Students share with their partners using • RallyRobin • Timed Pair Share Suggested Classbuilding content: Complete the sentence: “I am most happy when…”, “One personal thing about me you may not know is…”, “The weather that best represents me is…” 16
