Photocopying Instructions:

We need booklets prepared from these

masters. Each sheet has four copies of the

same small page.

Please make

photocopies in the

amount of roughly

1/4 the number of

participants (25

copies if we have 100

teachers). The copies

can then be stapled and cut, each yielding 4

small booklets 5.5" x 4.25".

We’ll use _________________ for this activity.
