Looking for a fun way to get your students engaged in the Industrial Revolution and differentiate learning? Look no further!
This Choice Board Activity will get your students interested while introducing them to the content that will learn throughout the unit.
How the Lesson Works:
★ This lesson is made up of six activities that will allow your students to explore the topic
★ The first activity is an Introductory Video (approx. 12 minutes) that all students will complete with four review questions.
★ The next part of the activity provides students with five activities to choose from:
Activity 1 - Jigsaw Puzzle with Supplemental Question
Activity 2 - Writing Prompt
Activity 3 - Biography Creation and Research
Activity 4 - Vocabulary Matchup
Activity 5 - The Scientific Revolution
★ After assigning the activity, just tell your students how many activities you would like them to complete.
★ This activity can be completed by individual students or by teams of students with one Google Slides document.
★Each activity should take students about ten to fifteen minutes to complete. The length of the entire lesson will be determined by the number of activities assigned.
★ Many of the activities involve writing opinions rather than facts, so there is not always necessarily a correct or incorrect answer.
★ This purchase includes a Google Slides Presentation that is pre-formatted to be…
Shared in Google Classroom
Copied by students to input answers (without changing the format)
Required Materials:
★ The Introductory Video is hosted on YouTube and you may have to allow access, depending on your District’s filtering policies.
★ One of the activities involves a Jigsaw Puzzle hosted on the website JigsawPlanet.com. You may need to share this URL with your District’s Technology Department to allow access, depending on your District’s filtering policies.
★ Any device with an internet connection will work, but this would probably be easier on a laptop or desktop computer.
