Description
This psychology lesson has a variety of activities to help students process information about cognitive problem solving. What do good thinkers do? Lesson includes a graphic organizer, card sort, close read and activity, and station rotation activity. All lessons are higher-order thinking and interactive for high student engagement. This lesson is planned for a 90 minute block but can easily be chunked/modified for your needs. It covers biases, algorithms, and heuristics.
Satisfied Customer stated this lesson "was a game-changer for student engagement and understanding of these complex cognitive processes. The lesson is thoughtfully designed with a variety of activities that cater to different learning styles, including a graphic organizer, card sort, close read, and station rotation activity. My students were particularly engaged with the station rotation, which encouraged collaboration and higher-order thinking as they explored biases, algorithms, and heuristics in real-world contexts." (Dec 2024)
All lessons include a detailed lesson plan with learning targets and essential questions, clear directions, links where appropriate, ready-to-copy interactive pages, bellringers, and formative assessment exit tickets. All resources are timed for a 90 minute block, but can easily be adapted to your needs
I've also started including separate pdf pages and images of the lesson so it can be more flexible and easily assigned in a digital classroom. Many of the pages of the pdf are also included as individual PowerPoint pages that the students can type right on, save, and submit to your LMS.

I am a facilitator who wants learning to be fun and engaging, all while making students into kind humans, literate citizens, and critical thinkers! My classes are interactive - discussion and project based, created from my own classroom experiences and "tested" on real students.
I'm a current full-time classroom teacher who wants to help busy teachers find quality, engaging lessons in Psychology, Mindfulness, and ELA. As a teacher leader, instructional coach, and AP teacher, I have learned the best methods for getting students thinking and talking about their learning over the past 20 years. I take great pride in making affordable, ready-to-go comprehensive lessons to help others do the same! I'm passionate about creating thorough teaching resources that are high quality, affordable, easy to follow, and ready to print, while still raising the bar on teaching and learning.
