I would hand out a scenario each group that would contain a violation of one of the rights listed in the Bill of Rights. The students would be instructed to investigate within the Bill of Rights to answer these questions: What is the issue? How is this a violation of their rights? What right does it specifically violate? Explain how this person should proceed. Students would then go to the Bill of Rights as well as any other approved source to look for answers on their scenario. Students would be able to present the information in any format they would like (video, google slides, text, audio, etc.)]]> 2021-04-28 23:15:31 UTC https://padlet.com/10343467/mxxv8nig4kh3wv0l/wish/1471390489 10343467 https://padlet.com/10343467/mxxv8nig4kh3wv0l/wish/1471407094 This teacher offers an incredible example of Inquiry based learning  and the main question she poses is "why do I exist?" and "who am I?" These overarching questions are posed to the students as they dive into deeper into the sources they are answering this question for. For example: a book they are reading, they will read it with the question in mind, "why does this person exist?" The student are actively engaged. I really like how the teacher arranged the tables as well as how she sat down with them (putting her at their level). She facilitated the discussion, but she isn't lecturing. 
Through discussion and exploration, the students are able to reach conclusions on their own merits and interpretations.

The documents above present each side of the argument and the handout below poses the question "Was Lincoln a Racist?" 
Students can actively debate this using the sources provided  and with the questions in the handout. 
Having students debate, connects them to each other as well as topics that are currently being debated in the world. Racism is a big issue topic right now, so having a safe environment for students to debate their thoughts on someone from history is a great way to discuss difficult things that are controversial.]]> 2021-04-28 23:40:10 UTC https://padlet.com/10343467/mxxv8nig4kh3wv0l/wish/1471431356 10343467 https://padlet.com/10343467/mxxv8nig4kh3wv0l/wish/1500349357 Students could use the ozobots to create an explorer map. As students learn about the many early explorers, I can split students into groups and have them read about their explorer and then draw a map of the world (roughly). Then they can track where the explorer went using the ozobots. I was able to witness a lesson taught using them for a Utah History lesson and I was amazed at how interactive and fun they are for kids to use! Students that can get up and play and be creative (ozobots let you create a path with variations...i.e. the bot will spin, the bot will go backward, etc.) There are special markers and codes you make with the markers that tell the bots what to do. This is a great activity to connect students to technology as well as use their creativity and implement their own personal ideas into their assignment. ]]> 2021-05-06 22:22:45 UTC https://padlet.com/10343467/mxxv8nig4kh3wv0l/wish/1500349357 10343467 https://padlet.com/10343467/mxxv8nig4kh3wv0l/wish/1500355978 This teacher explains Jigsaw so well and simply. This lesson plan is so versatile and can connect a variety of ideas as students corroborate away from their "family" group and then come back to that "family" with new information. ]]> 2021-05-06 22:26:39 UTC https://padlet.com/10343467/mxxv8nig4kh3wv0l/wish/1500355978
