クラスミニ: どちらを選びますか? ホリデーエディション

This class mini is an opportunity for students to play a fun holiday game and make new friends. In this class, students are offered two ridiculous options, and they have to choose which they prefer and explain why. Not only is the game fun and silly, but students will also be practicing important skills like supporting their choices with reasoning and learning about their audience. These are core concepts integral to good writing, but students will be having so much fun, they won't even realize how much they're learning! 

To play the game, one student will be the "judge" and the other students will be the "writers." The role of judge will rotate each round. The judge will read two equally ridiculous choices to the writers, who will then have one minute to write what they choose and why. They will then read their explanations to the judge, who will choose the "best" one, based upon humor, creativity, or logic. That player scores a point. Then the role of "judge" rotates to a new player, and the students are given two new options. This particular version of the game is holiday themed, so all of the choices will revolve around winter or winter holidays. This adds a fun, seasonal element to the game play!
