Lately, upsetting things have been happening in the world and our students are very much aware of them. Tens of thousands of people have protested on the streets to make their voices heard about all kinds of issues that students care about including racism, inequality, policing, discrimination, etc. Protests have spread across the nation and seem to rival the historic demonstrations of the civil rights movement.

This resource features 48 questions related to racism that can be used as writing prompts, discussion/debate questions, or both! These questions encourage students to think deeply about racism, the root cause of it, their experiences with it, how it should be confronted and addressed, what drives silence, the role media plays - AND SO MUCH MORE! These questions can spark some deep conversations among students.

This Four Corners Mini Debate Activity is a great no-prep activity that you can use any time of year for a fun, engaging activity that your students will LOVE!

Students will love moving around the room as you click through the 35 debatable topics - mostly controversial, but some are silly as well! This is perfect for middle school/high school, but teachers are encouraged to preview the statements and skip over any which you feel are too controversial for your student population. (I definitely stayed away from the most controversial topics).

►You will love this well-organized activity that allows students to voice their opinions, defend their positions, and even learn something new!

►The printable Reflection Sheet will allow them to reflect on the ideas presented, and asks them to discuss two issues that they may have changed their stance on after the debate and the reasons why. This is an activity I use in my classroom every year and I know your students will love it!

***CHECK OUT THE PREVIEW FOR FULL DETAILS!***

INCLUDED WITH YOUR PURCHASE:

• 35 Statements (Google Slides)

• Includes a Blank Editable Slide

• 5 Printable Classroom Signs

• Student Reflection Sheet

STUDENT GUIDELINES FOR USING THIS RESOURCE:

►If you agree with the statement, move to the side of the room labeled “Agree” or “strongly agree.” If you disagree, move to the side of the room labeled, “Disagree” or “strongly disagree.” If you’re not sure how you feel about the topic yet, move to the side of the room labeled, “Undecided.” (I typically have "undecided" students stand in the middle and hang the other posters in the four corners of the room.)

***Students should be prepared to defend their position even if they’re undecided.

This resource goes beyond having students simply take notes and restate the different causes leading to the American Revolutionary War. A unique lesson designed to have students participate in the learning process by continually drawing inferences and predictions of how each causal factor worked to increase the tensions between the colonies and Britain. An interactive & discussion based Slide Presentation will encourage students to delve deeper into their analysis.

Two choices of hands-on summative activities;

1. Creating a ‘Loop’ diagram' (web) that will serve to identify the causal factors and how they interconnect with each other.

OR

2. Creating an ‘Unjust-O-Meter’. Students will rate which of the causal factors were the most unjust to the colonists. Each group will defend and present their decisions to their classmates.

Materials:

• Teacher Reference Guide
• Google Slide Presentation
• Guided Notes & Answer Key
