Give+One,+Get+One

This is a speaking activity that can also be used as a pre-reading or post-reading activity (it can even be used as a writing activity).

Students take a sheet of paper and create a grid of 9, 12, or 16 even 16 boxes. Then have students think of something to write in one of the boxes.
 * For example:
 * "What is one important detail from the reading?"
 * "Think of something that is beautiful and write it down."
 * "Write down one transition word."
 * "Write down one sensory detail."
 * This can also be used to help students generate discussions after responding to each Unit's ESSENTIAL QUESTION (Edge).

After students write their one response, they have to walk around the room and talk to a variety of students. Their goal is to fill up their grid so that there is a unique response in each box. Discussions will go something like:
 * "Oh, I already have -. Do you have -?"
 * Of course. fill in the blanks with sensory details, main points, etc. (whatever you're having them give/get).
