January 22 Strategies Demonstrated: "Mental Flossing": a pre-reading and vocabulary development strategy that also builds classifying/categorizing skills. The handout, which can be adapted for use with other content, is available here.
Structured Academic Controversy--a highly structured small group discussion model that incorporates cooperative learning principles. Download a description of the method here. The Federalists/Anti-Federalists note-taking page is here. A list of sources for information and/or readings for SACs is available here.
Pre-reading Activities: The handouts for Activating Prior Knowledge and Previewing the Organization of a Lesson can be found in the Center for Civic Education "Strategies for Struggling Readers" for Levels 2 and 3.
3-2-1 Protocol: An "exit ticket" that allows you to quickly assess whether students "got" what you hoped from a lesson, find out what questions they still have, etc. Find the handout here.
We have posted Fred Anderson's PowerPoint on Google Slides. Also up is his outline. For some reason, I can't see it in the list of documents in our folder, but it is there (in fact, I think I've managed to upload it multiple times!). Just use the link to connect to it.
In advance of this Friday's session, which will focus on the judicial branch, here is a link to an interesting article: "Ten Supreme Court Cases Every Teen Should Know"--https://www.nytimes.com/learning/teachers/featured_articles/20080915monday.html. Do you agree with the list? What would you add?
Lori has shared a packet of materials she has used in doing moot courts with middle school students. Find it here. This packet provides a general approach for doing a moot court, plus materials for doing the Earls drug-testing case. And here is a list of resources useful in teaching about Supreme Court cases.
Analyzing a Hearing Question: The framework Edna presented is available here. The start of an analysis is available here. As a bonus, we have posted a pdf of a graphic organizer that students may find helpful in breaking down a question. Finally, we have also posted the questions on judicial review.
Michelle provided so many resources for the session on WTP and English Language Learners that I created a separate folder for these materials. The folder is at this link.
Claim Your Powers has also been added to Google Docs; find it here.
