This one worked a tad better so I replaced my earlier cliques lesson with this one. The powerpoint is pretty self explanatory and deals with students and high school sports. At the end, I had the students get into groups of 4 or 5 and each make an obstacle course (I showed a video clip of someone running or a squirrel running through the obstacle course as an example).
Each student wrote about one course on their obstacle course. It worked pretty well. For slower students, I had them name sports and go around and try to name as many as possible, having students explain what they meant if it was obscure enough.
Critiques welcome as I do plan to use this again for the level 1 students later.
