Interest Survey (relative to starting our new unit)
* Surveys were used to divide people into groups for upcoming unit
- DBI (Data Based Inquiry)- Group Activity to Kickoff New Unit: The Crucible (Salem Witch Trials)
Group Activity- Students were put into groups of four
1- Each group was given a packet (lrg. envelope) with three sets of information inside. Each group had one driving question, but all groups were trying to discover what the next big "historical event" was that we would be studying. Here were the groups: Law, Economy, Environment, Love, Cultural Profiling, Religion, Native Americans.
2- As they read, they recorded the following in their journals and they filled these in as they went through the investigative round to determine a) what the big historical event was and b) what their topic, i.e. "law" had to do with it:
Round1 (pictures)
-who
-where
-when
-what/why
Round 2 (primary sources*)
-who
-where
-when
-what/why
Round 3 (secondary sources)
-who
-where
-when
-what/why
There were given 5 minutes for each round and filled out their journal for each round, making guesses based on explicit evidence, inferred evidence, and logical reasoning.
Presentations- Each group reported back to the class on their findings answering the two questions: What big event in history is it about? What does your topic have to do with that event.
This provided the foundation for starting our new unit.
