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.
