AGENDA
WHOLE GROUP
Students were given the probe above and a sticky note. They were asked to write the name of the person they agreed with and place it on a graph in the front of the room. We then used accountable talk to discuss why students chose that particular person.
Students then completed the notes on how life began by using the powerpoint and the supplied article. Unfortunately, the video cannot load. I suggest you see me individually to download a copy onto your own jump drive.
You can find the link to the article below.
