"Why does history matter?"

"Why do we have to learn this?"

"Does school success really affect your future?"

Your students are already asking these questions. This activity gives them a chance to discuss those ideas, disagree with each other, and explain their thinking out loud.

12 printable discussion cards (6 focused on history, 6 focused on school success) give students clear ideas to react to, sort, and defend. After the discussion, students complete a short written reflection using the included response sheet.

Available in PDF, Google Slides, and Canva formats.
