A fun article I use to introduce Socratic Seminars and Costa's Levels of thinkings is the Baby Lindbergh Case. It's a historical event that was not fully solved, so students have a fun time sharing out who they believe is guilty and why, using the evidence provided in the text.

We learned about what qualifies as a good and bad relationship. We spent time talking about how this connected with their mental health and their ideas of making new friends.

The week prior to graduation, our freshman students made congratulations posters for the graduating seniors. The posters were displayed across the school until graduation happened. We used poster board and bought some doo-dads from Dollar Tree to jazz them up.

This was a collaboration activity. Students had a collaboration rubric to review first and then were put into groups. Each group had a slide with 5 random images. Their job was to rearrange the images and create a story using the sequence. Each group then presented their final result. We also had students give collaboration celebrations using the rubric, focusing on specific areas of strength.

Get snacks for prizes.  Make a fun powerpoint/google slides presentation with different bingo patterns for each game (do a google image search for patterns).  I bought a bingo game and the cards with the windows you can slide.  There are online bingo game generators that will call the number so you don't have to have a physical set.   Instead of the hard bingo cards with plastic windows
, paper cards are fairly inexpensive with Amazon and you can use markers to cross off numbers.

I have had great success with Socratic Seminars. Students seem to feel more comfortable with this format for discussions rather than the tutorial format.

Students (in groups) are given words to take pictures of around the school that represent the word. Different point values can be assigned to each word. Also at least one student from the group has to be in the picture. We used words for our school mascot and colors as well as success, organized, college, challenge, and powerful.

I want to be consistent in allowing my classes to access Framework Friday lessons. I am looking forward to doing more philosophical chairs activities and fostering more discussion between students so that they get less stuck in their own ways.

After experiencing a school-wide tragedy, the students just needed a break and time to process what had happened, so I took my students on a walk around the baseball stadium on a nice day in May. (oh, and I made a TikTok of each class's walk, which they of course LOVED)

We had a number of guest speakers on Fridays this year, specifically college admissions counselors. We used this as an opportunity for students to practice both note-taking and questioning skills. We also used the notes to add college vocabulary to an ongoing quizlet set that we used for practice leading up to the next college guest speaker.

We were not allowed guest speakers from off-campus for last year, so we utilized the staff in the buildings. EX: Our health technician spent her Junior year in high school on Rotary Exchange in Japan, so she came and did a presentation on her experiences. Our principal was a Marine and in the FBI. Our VP was in the Peace Corps.

We had students interview and then introduce a classmate to the rest of the class.

Had former graduates come in each Friday and show the route (not always straight), struggles, and successes that students "like me" (64% Native American students) have accomplished.

Students created a Google slide that described the 5-7 rules they live their life by. Their rules could be built off of quotes or song lyrics or life experiences. The slide had to be visually appealing and include related images.
Students presented their slide to the class; we did one a day.

I had our college advisor come speak to the kids about scholarship opportunities and options. The kids chose at least one scholarship to apply for.

Our school has a program called Xello. I can use this to have students take quizzes on their learning styles/preferences.
