  6. Take a card – any card • Next I will collect and shuffle the cards • Pick a card and check that it does not belong to you or anyone you know • If you pick your own or someone you think you recognize put it back and pick again

  7. The Game Is Afoot • Its time to play Sherlock Holmes • Everyone stand up and walk around the room talking to each other • Try to find the person on your card by asking indirect questions about each other • Do not read the card and ask if they are the person • The idea is to play detective and find your person without letting them know what you are after just like Sherlock Holmes

  10. Introductions • I need a volunteer • Thank you, please ask your person to come to the front of the class with you • Introduce your person using the interview sheet • Tell us your person’s interesting fact from the card • You may sit down while your person introduces his/her person • Has everyone introduced their person and been introduced?

  11. Let’s Talk • How did you feel at the beginning of class and how do you feel now about: • Interacting with each other • Talking about your self and others • Speaking in front of the class • Feelings of isolation and belonging • Diversity and similarity • Other observations about this activity

  12. I enjoyed learning about yourself tonight and I hope you also enjoyed learning about each other. I am looking forward to working with you this quarter and hope you all feel the same.
