Thanks to our friend, Mrs. Abernathy, we had our first Mystery Skype session. We tried to brainstorm some questions to ask our partner class so that we could be prepared. We didn't quite know what we were getting into, but we did pretty well. We guessed that her class is in Pennsylvania, and we even had time to ask them a few questions. We found out that they don't start school until 8:45, which seems really unfair!
We talked about things we did well, like....
1. ask good questions.
2. answer their questions correctly.
3. listen to what they answered to help choose more questions.
4. guess their state!
We also discussed things that we want to do next time...
1. prepare different questions, now that we know more about what we are doing.
2. have a map in front of the class that we use to eliminate states/countries as we can, so that everyone can see.
3. get a new speaker!
4. use a questionner's chair.
We are trying to set up some more Mystery Skype sessions, so it should be fun and help with our learning. Mrs. Hines already knows that she needs to do a lesson on time zones!
