1. Opening

A. Engaging the Reader: Sharing Conservation Commitments

Expeditionary Learning Teacher and Student Actions The teacher asks students to refer to the commitment cards they made for homework and think about how they can act out their commitment cards for each other. The teacher reviews the Back-to-Back, Face-to-Face protocol and asks students to stand back-to-back with a partner. When the teacher says “front-to-front,” students turn around and act out their commitment. Students call out their guesses for their partner’s action. When the teacher says “back-to-back” again, students find a new partner and repeat the activity. The teacher invites students to share some of the ways to save water that were not on the Being Well Aware anchor chart and adds these to the chart.
