How to Use the “Time Clock” Strategy

For Scheduling Partners

1) Give each student one copy of the Time Clock. (see p.2)

2) Give the following directions:

“We are going to use these sheets to schedule partners for the various

activities that we do in class.

When I say, “Go,” Take a pencil and the clock sheet, and find a partner.

Write your partner’s name in the blank by 12 o’clock .

When you have done that, wait for further instructions.”

Check for understanding.

Give the “Go” signal and allow them time to find a partner.

When they have finished with one partner, have them find a different

partner and repeat the process.

In the same way fill in 3-4 more of the hours that you specify.

i.e. “Make appointments for 3,6, and 9 on the clock.” (It’s usually easier to

fill in only 3-4 at a time.)

3) When you want to use pairs, simply tell the students to meet with their

___o’clock partner. (Select one of the times you’ve had them schedule.)

Note: Keep track of the appointment times you use to easily vary the

partners.
