  7. Directions: • You will participate in an activity in which you will form groups based on your secret identities • You will each receive a piece of paper • Some are blank. Some have a dot drawn on them • There are fewer dots than non-dots • When you receive your piece of paper you must secretly look at it. If you receive a dot you must not reveal it to anyone. When you have finished looking, hide it or put it in your pocket.

  8. Goal of Activity: • The goal of the activity is to form as large of a group of “non-dot” members as possible • Points: • The largest group of “non-dot” students will win points. • The whole group will lose if there is one “dot” member in your group. • “Dot” members will win points for being the only dot in a group.

  9. Advice: • Since everyone in the class will deny having a dot you must look for any indication of suspicion. • If you suspect someone has a dot you should say out loud, “Bob is a dot!” • If you are a “Dot” then you must bluff to convince others that you are not a dot.

  10. Ready? • What questions do you have? • On GO: You have 5 minutes to talk to each other and form groups with “nondot” members. • When I turn off the lights, you must freeze in your place and talking must end immediately. No exceptions.
