Description

Your students' eyes will be opened as they read about witch hunts that happen internationally today. They will learn so much as they read, write, think, and talk about the modern articles they will read in class.

First, students complete an anticipation guide to see what they think about witch hunts taking place today. Next, each student is assigned one non-fiction article to read out of 4 articles. They answer a reading guide on their own and get with those who have the same article to compare notes and become an expert on their assigned article. Then, students form groups of 4 students who all have different articles. They will complete some thought-provoking questions together. Finally, they will do an acrostic poem or a one pager to finalize their learning. This is an engaging and challenging activity that will get your students thinking critically!

This is also an impressive activity for an observation because it sheds light on a global issue while reinforcing reading, discussion, problem-solving, and thinking skills.

Included:

►Teacher Instructions

►Anticipation Guide of 10 true/false questions with answer key

►4 non fiction articles already selected for your students

►Reading Guide Questions

►Detailed Group Discussion Instructions for students to read and follow

►Acrostic

►One Pager instruction sheet and example

►Links and QR codes included for easy access.

►Table markers to print and cut
