Questions/instructions:
There are many reasons
for saying “thank you”.
I’d like to thank all of you for helping us over the past week.
I’ve really enjoyed working with you and hearing about what you
know.
You may now like to give a thank you for what you have been doing this
week.
Each person in your team can think about their own special things that
they want to say in their thank you. If there is some special way that
your group would like to show their thanks, you can do this together.
You can have some time now to think about the things you would like
to say and how you are going to say them in a little speech.
Allow time.
Now stand up to say your thank you.
Give time for each student to participate in the ‘thank
you’. |
