Foot Intorduction Activity

Extension Activity: An extension to this activity on getting to know your students would be to tie it into a lesson.  You could tie it into social studies by having some of the requirements for what to include by making them put things like where they are from on there, their family, something they like in the subject, and a few "fun facts."  It can help you assess what your students are going to like in the content and could also tell you what they like to do in the class, ie. projects, movies, lecture, etc.

In this introduction activity I cut out my feet and included facts about myself on it.  The cowboy boot represents my country style and my love for all types of shoes.  The iPod and head phones represent my love and need for music in my life.  I included a tent with the initials of my family members on it because we have camped for many years and I am very close with my family.  The books, water bottle, and Mtn. Dew can represent things that are a constant in my life; I love reading for fun and my two favorite liquids.  Finally the state of Minnesota represents where I am from.
