Code of Conduct, and identifying the main ideas as well as supporting details.\u00a0 Students then worked in small groups to draft their own Codes of Conduct.\u00a0 Finally, we collaborated as a class to create one that is unique to us.\u00a0 Here it is:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Div. 1&#8217;s Code of Conduct<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>In Division 1,
