After completing the ice breaker activity, please answer the following questions in complete sentences:

1) Identify something you have in common with a classmate. How do you feel, knowing someone has this in common with you? Why?

2) Identify something that you learned about a classmate that surprises or intrigues you. Why are you surprised or intrigued by this?

3) Although there are many individual assignments in this language arts class, we also work a lot in groups. Write three ways you intend to make positive contributions to the groups you are in. EXAMPLE: I will pay attention to group members when they are talking, rather than being on my phone.

4) OPTIONAL: If you have any good ideas for ice breakers for me to incorporate in future lessons, let me know! Maybe you completed a fun ice breaker in another class, or maybe you have an original idea of your own. I know ice breakers can be intimidating and awkward, so I always welcome ideas for better ice breakers. Thank you!
