Hey, hi, and hello!
Today students began with their launch, then approached learning in a more independent manner. They were given 2 items: a slip of vocabulary/questions and access to a Popplet. Using the information in the Popplet, students were able to “think outside the box” and gather information to make connections.
After about 25-30 minutes of gathering information and making connections, students completed a practice that assessed their new learning.
A sample can be found below:
