Description

This highly enjoyable, culturally-sustaining lesson can be used online, in person, or for hybrid learning. Great for back to school – I use this for my first lesson of the school year. It is always a hit!

 

Everything you need is included. Seriously – you’ll be ready to teach your first class of the year in less than 10 minutes with this ready-to-go comprehensive plan. Not only will you get your class started off with a great community-building exercise, but you’ll learn things about your students that may well surprise you. It allows them to bring in aspects of their identity that they want to share, thereby making it more likely that they’ll develop a sense of belonging and psychological safety.

 

In this FULLY EDITABLE lesson, you get:

  1. a conversation-starting activity for students to reflect on how they’re feeling and why
  2. instructions on how to take attendance & ensure you are pronouncing students’ name correctly from Day 1
  3. space to review classroom expectations
  4. a small group activity for students to get to know each other
  5. sentence stems to promote discussion
  6. an example video for the ‘Me & My Special Object’ assignment
  7. a rubric for self and peer assessment to raise the quality of their submissions
  8. guidance on how to collate these in 1 place
  9. instructions on how to use the videos to generate & record connections between students – this can continue over the next few lessons (optional)
  10. suggested variations, tweaks, and alternatives depending on your situation
  11. and – as always – my ongoing support!
