Text reads: Quickly pair each student with the person next to them. Give each pair 2 minutes to take turns talking. Ask each student to tell their partner: What is something most people don't know about you?

Ask three or four volunteers to share, "popcorn style" what they said. (They should only speak for themselves, not for their partner.)
