them and/or care about them? Who here thinks the teachers here, for
the most part, love and care about them? How about your friends, do
they love and care for you? Today's learning target How our friends
pressure us in positive and negative ways. 23. E.T. Phone Home In
groups of 2 or 3, one person will be the listener.The listener will
stand in the hoop at one end of space.The rest of the group then
has to go to the designated end-line and stand next to a cone
without the listener seeing where they are.The students in the hoop
will be blindfolded and spun around. The groups at the endline
cannot make a sound or they are disqualified. This prevents the
students from trying to give clues to their teammate in the tube.
On the instructors signal, the teams will try and call their
teammate back to their group.Once the blindfolded student gets to
their group he or she can take off the blindfold and proceed with
their group back to the hoop. 24. Spectrum Assessment 1. Line up in

those positive and negative pressures that come from within small
groups of people we might not be as comfortable with. You see it is
very easy to only work with people we like. It is even easier to
only accept criticism from people we like.The challenge for you and
your group today will be to use each other's skills and pressure
each other in positive ways to come up with the best result. 30.
Tower of Power In groups, you will attempt to build the tallest
tower by only using these folders.There is no limit to how you use
the folders except for the fact that you cannot alter the folders,
no rips, tears, etc. Just remember: there is no right way to build
the tallest tower. But there are positive and negative ways to
treat each of your group members. Let's see if you can see what
that looks like. 31. The Big 2 In groups come up with ONE big way
you felt pressured in a positive way today and one way you felt
pressured in a negative way during today's activity. Then have one
person write it in on the board. 32. Lets reflect and apply Was
