It's helpful to have one of the students do the notation at the board, allowing the teacher to move around the room. These instructions should be included on the silly pictures. If collaborative learning is being used, a good skill to emphasize might be communication and active talking with one designated notetaker and the other the picture holder. It should be emphasized this is sink or swim for both members of the dyad. From this point on, both will receive the same grade for both academic and social skills.

Sum up class session by asking each student to contribute one thing they have learned from the days experiences. Review orally concepts of previous day 2.
