The juniors do a research paper on social issues, so it would be great to have them do a pre-assessment and then work in groups on interest to get ideas about what they want their topics to be--to choose something they are really interested in.

Students will sort themselves into the specific houses of Harry Potter based on their personality traits and personal history. After the houses are established, students will be given a list of historical figures and asked to find those figures who would belong in their house and those who would belong in other houses. Students in each groups must explain why based on the same reasons they sorted themselves into the group.

For grammar instruction, I could use a pre-assessment on NoRedInk, or a teacher-made pre-assessment to group students by grammar issues. For example, some students struggle with fragments and complete sentences, while others start the year with knowledge of the elements of sentences, but struggling with comma use or creating compound sentences. These groups could drive grammar instruction for 2-3 weeks at a time.

During the first 9 weeks, we have the 12th graders make a new ride/show/restaurant to incorporate at Bush Gardens. It would be great to do a pre-assessment and group them by product, which would also be interest as well. That way, kids would actually want to do a menu or restaurant are together, and kids who wants to design a roller coaster are together, instead of just working with friends.  Sara Beth. :)

When teaching media bias I often group by political ideology. Then I'll present articles that align with the students' core political beliefs but otherwise contain serious flaws or biases. I find that students have an easy time exposing the flaws in what they don't believe, but they struggle to be critical about beliefs they hold close.
