Journal Prompt: It's almost Winter Break! Write about what will you be doing during your vacation, then submit! :)
Make some inferences about the man in this picture. What does this picture tell you about him? If you were to give him a gift, what kinds of things would you give him? Type as many ideas as you can and then submit.
![]() In our class, we use depth and complexity icons as a way to help students explore topics at a deeper level. Today, we learned about "contribution." We examined and discussed several pictures to develop our understanding of what "contribution" means. In the end, we learned that contribution leads to change- one thing contributes to another, which can contribute to another, and on it goes. Next, students were given a building challenge to demonstrate their understanding of this concept. Groups were given a bag of dominoes, playing cards, a toy car, a ping pong ball, a dixie cup, and a marker to tinker with. The students could use any combination of the items to show that contribution leads to change. Here are their ideas: There is a man walking down the road dressed entirely in black. There are no lights on along the road and no moon. A car with no lights comes down the road and manages to avoid the man. How?
Type out your thoughts and submit. |
