Fill yer sails with the amazing work of ye mateys at NP3!
February 1, 2016
It's a desk party!
Students review for an assessment by showing what they know and learning from others!
Students begin with brainstorming ideas about their given topic. They are responsible for making a visual for their topic, in addition to providing a definition and why their topic is important. Then, students record a minimum amount of topics and information from around the room. Desk party time!
Need variety? Make the end result of this activity your exit ticket or have students work in partnerships to complete the first step of the activity.
Gooooo Pirates!
show what you know!
learn from your peers!
