This activity combines activation of prior knowledge, analysis of primary sources, prediction, using facts to support a claim, and competition @Sturdevant_CRMS #1lisd #lisdeagles #soaringtogether

Continuing adventures in #deeperlearning! Starting a unit on westward expansion, students looked at various "clues" (primary sources) and used them to make predictions. Throughout the unit, sections will compete to gather factual evidence to support or refute their predictions.

Version of Concept Definition Map from @jaymctighe - Students prioritized 5 key attributes from a set of 10 and used them to understand and describe this unit's themes; Leadership and Nation-Building more deeply as we investigate the Early Republic Era. #1LISD @Sturdevant_CRMS
