Less than $5 10th Grade Social Studies & History Assessment (by date, oldest first)

Toolkit for discussion-based teaching! This 10-page editable document includes participation evaluation worksheets, role-playing exercises, and discussion trackers that you might use to improve your Harkness discussions and socratic seminars.

Here is what you'll get in this 10-page document:

• Participation Self-Evaluation Worksheets: The first two handouts will invite students to reflect on how well they are listening, thinking, speaking, asking questions, and using evidence. These editable handouts can be used as a student self-evaluation worksheet; or they can be used by the teacher to provide feedback and grades on students' participation. (2 pages)

• Formulating Questions Handout: This handout provides students with advice about how to formulate effective questions. Whether your class is about to embark on a series of student led-discussions, or your class is about to write papers about topics of their choosing, this handout will help them to formulate genuine interpretive questions that are grounded in concrete textual evidence. (1 page)

• Discussion Role-Playing Exercise: Challenge your students to develop their discussion skills by assigning each student a particular role to play during a discussion. This handout contains a list of roles such as "questioner," "text referencer," "clarifier," "focuser," and so on. The experience of playing these roles will help your students to develop concrete skills and to expand their awareness of the range of different contributions they can make to a discussion. At the same time, it will prompt students to reflect upon the discussion skills they exercise habitually as well as the ones they experience as more challenging. (3 pages)

• Harkness Discussion Trackers: Four discussion tracking sheets will enable you to keep track of how many times each student spoke during a Harkness discussion. The trackers also feature "keys" that will enable you to keep track of the kinds of contributions made by each student: questions, textual references, building comments, etc. The keys are editable so that you decide to track the particular skills that your class may be working on at any given moment in the year. Want to track when your students work through a constructive disagreement? Just add "CD" to the tracking key! (4 pages)

This resource includes multiple activities for the inspiring Holocaust movie The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler, produced by The Hallmark Hall of Fame. The movie is a World War II drama about Catholic Christian social worker Irena Sendler who saved the lives of 2,500 Jewish babies and young children in the Warsaw ghetto. Using fake identification to pass herself off as a nurse, Irena was able to enter and exit the ghetto at will, which allowed her to develop an operation for smuggling the children to safety.

This product includes a pre-watching activity to provide students with the background they need to understand the film, during-watching analysis questions, and a post-viewing discussion activity with a rubric.
