The teacher will pose as a representative of the county government, who is announcing the initiative. Students will be shown a set of items they are allowed to use to develop their solution, and that will be all they are allowed to use. Students will then have a brief brainstorming period. After that, the "representative" will hold a "press conference" to answer any questions. Then, students will write with a time limit, just as they do with writing seeds. Following that, we will pair them up to review each other's ideas. Each reviewer will need to list two pros and two cons about their partner's idea before returning to individually revise and present. ]]> 2020-02-17 19:42:26 UTC https://padlet.com/henricoschools/dm8maijusuzy/wish/446497430 https://padlet.com/henricoschools/dm8maijusuzy/wish/446498123 2020-02-17 19:45:12 UTC https://padlet.com/henricoschools/dm8maijusuzy/wish/446498123 https://padlet.com/henricoschools/dm8maijusuzy/wish/446498778 Given a bunch of leaves, students will brainstorm and classify them into groups and come up with a reasoning for the classification.]]> 2020-02-17 19:47:18 UTC https://padlet.com/henricoschools/dm8maijusuzy/wish/446498778 kcbarry https://padlet.com/henricoschools/dm8maijusuzy/wish/446501529 When students finish the novel, Pax, they will create one of the following projects based on student choice: a video book talk, a diorama, or a book mobile (where they will also have two different versions to choose from).
