Unique and Engaging Inquiry!
As a teacher in an urban middle school, I am always looking for engaging activities that will peak my students' interest and encourage them to write. This activity does both! To prepare for the lesson, I created a powerpoint using the pictures and diagrams provided in the article. I also created a response sheet for students to record their "yes/no" questions and notes. With the addition of a class challenge (students competed with each other to see who could write the most detailed, accurate solution), this activity was successful in motivating even the most reluctant learners!!
