Description
Hoping to provide more student-directed inquiry based learning? Looking to incorporate project based learning (PBL) in a humanities class? Hoping to increase a community of self-efficacy & advocacy? This no-prep unit is perfect for ELA or Social Studies students, grades 9 and up or homeschooled to use their voice to inspire change.
This project takes students through a reflective inquiry process, with a research element, in response to the prompt “How can your words inspire change?” Students can choose any topic or area in which they see a need for a change that can be made using their words. It is a great opportunity to practice making rhetorical appeals and using rhetorical devices while encouraging students to find and use their voice to make a difference!
It incorporates research, writing, speaking & listening and reflecting. I have seen students transform through this unit as they get to learn about and advocate for changes related to areas they're passionate about. This unit can take from 3-5 weeks, depending on how you implement it.
Comes with
- Instructional Guide
- Student Directions Packet
- Recommended timeline
- 11 editable slide decks (61 slides total) with speaker notes with how to structure & implement the lesson as well as tips/examples
- an ongoing digital (or print) Inquiry Notebook to track the learning process
- Rubrics: teacher rubric for final product, student self-assessment, peer evaluation & rubric for presenting to adults
- templates for tracking student progress
- email to Parents to explain project
- editable google form to engage adults to give feedback to students (less work for you!)
