Let’s finish up our quote sandwiches If you were absent, you’ll need to see

me for an explanation of what we covered last class.

With your partner, you have ten minutes to finish your quote sandwich.

Be ready to share after the ten minutes are up!

Now get up! With your partner, find another set of

partners to share your quote sandwich with.

If the other pair’s sandwich is stale, please tell them what can be improved, what might be missing, and also what their strengths are!

Let’s make some more sandwiches! Come get materials, please!
