Students work in teams to come up with working definitions to terms studied in class. Students may use dictionaries, prior knowledge, and peer discussion. By the end of the activity students should have a list of useful definitions written in their notebooks and be able to describe the terms orally.

In geometry, definitions are very important. Your job is to discover a good definition for an assigned vocabulary word. You will also be analyzing another group's definition.

(20 POINTS - 4 points each section) Below is a chart that shows you exactly how your class participation grade will be determined. All students are expected to participate in class! I do understand that some students are shy and participate in ways other than class discussion. Forms of participation other than participating in class discussion (although this is a primary form of participation) include coming to me for extra help, giving other students feedback in class, adhering to the no-voice and no-phone rule, consistent attendance. NOTE: If you get to the point of having a fair/poor participation grade in one or more areas, it will probably be recommended that you call your parent.
