Presentation Transcript

  1. Beta Land • Welcome to Beta Land, home of the Beta culture. You, the Betas, are a group of aggressive entrepreneurs seeking to acquire more and more property and goods. Beta culture revolves around economic self-interest and advancement. A good Beta – a Beta who garners the respect of other Betas – is one who works hard at accumulating more wealth, as wealth equals respect in Beta Land.

  2. Beta Land • Check-in: What do Betas value most?

  3. Beta Land • Currency in Beta Land comes in the form of trading cards. These trading cards have two characteristics: (1) they come in different colors, and (2) they have pictures of animals on them. • The colors are: Orange, fuchsia, green, yellow, & purple • The animals are: Sheep, cows, snakes, & pigs

  4. Beta Land • Check-in: What are the two characteristics of Beta trading cards?

  5. Beta Land • Your goal as a Beta is to get five cards of different colors but of the same animal to make a set. For instance, if you have a yellow card and a purple card in your deck, both with pigs on them, you will try to trade cards with other Betas until you get all five colors of pig cards. • When you have succeeded in getting a set, you will write your name on the board with a tally mark next to your name (i.e. one tally = one set), turn in your old cards to the “bank”, and get five more cards to begin again.

  6. Beta Land • Check in: What are the two characteristics of Beta trading cards? • Check-in: What constitutes a “set” in Beta trading? • Check-in: What is the goal of Beta trading?

  7. Beta Land • Everyone will now get five cards to start-off with. • Look at your cards: • What “set” are you closest to having? • What colors would you need to acquire from other Betas in order to complete that “set”?

  8. Beta Land • The sounds made by the animals on the Beta currency are important to the trading process. • The sounds are: • Snake: Hsssss • Pig: Oink, oink • Sheep: Baaaa • Cow: Mooo

  9. Beta Land • Make the sounds of these animals:

  10. Beta Land • To trade cards involves the following steps: • Hold up a card with the animal that you’re looking for • Make the noise of the animal on the card, followed by the “first syllable” of the color that you want • If the other Beta has that card, she will say “Beta.” Then he/she may ask you if you have a card that she needs • If either person does not have the requested and/or does not want to trade, she will make a shoulder movement that means “no” in Beta trading (see demonstration). • Note: Betas do not speak English during trading! • Can I have two volunteers to demonstrate?
