One of our focuses this week is Peer Biographies

Peer Biographies:

 Write and record a peer biography.

On Tuesday we were buddied up into pairs and we wrote down what we already knew about our buddy and what we want to find out about them.

We also came up with questions for our buddies so that we could find out more information. We were tried to use FAT questions to get more information.

Please post a comment with your thoughts about this activity......
