Student to Student Discussion Protocol, Worksheets, Teacher Tracker and Rubrics. You can edit this in seconds, add a new purpose question and run another student to student discussion. My class is a discussion-based Global 9 classroom and we use this protocol EVERY day. I can make entire lesson in a matter of minutes - EASIEST activity I've ever prepared for. Simple copy/paste. This protocol comes with specific assigned student roles, descriptions of roles, a rubric for students to self-asse

This learning activity provides historical context of the Magna Carta and facilitates a deeper understanding of the document, its implications and contributions of the Magna Carta to Global History. Can be used as an Intro Activity or a Deeper Learning Activity to provide for foundation for a discussion.

This is an EASY outline for your students to practice (and easy to memorize for Exam Day) that meets all criteria to receive a 5 on the essay!

This Exit Ticket provides a clear Exit Ticket Question, clear criteria for high standard of student work, a rubric and checklist for students to self-check their work, as well as a scaffolding (optional) for students who need additional support in writing their exit ticket. Commands a Claim, use of Evidence, use of Analysis, and a Linking/Closing statement to tie it back to claim. Completely modifiable for teacher use.

When you begin teaching Argumentative Writing, you may find that students struggle to support their claim with evidence an analysis. This lesson isolates the skill in order to provide opportunity to support the claim with items that they know. It provides generic evidence to utilize to support personal claims - claims provided to isolate skill further.
