Rehearsal Protocol: Snappy Practice- Quotes

Can I have somebody read this quote here?Go ahead.So it looks like during the 1920’s there was a lot of culture happening, there was a lot of dance, there was a lot of different parts of America that were doing well, and it seems like the economy was doing well too like we spoke about yesterday.And this is just a poem that talks about the flapper.Now let’s make a switch, and here’s where I want you to start taking a couple of notes.Life during the 1930’s. Look at this picture right now and just write a few things that you notice on your notes. So write 1930’s and take note of anything that you’re noticing in this picture right now that could be a contrast to what we just saw.

Snappy Practice Review• Whole group (4 min)

• What should this teacher keep and do again?

• What should this teacher consider changing?

• Reflect w/ partner (2 min)• How did I do with this

skill?• What are my next

steps?
