    Description

    6 units worth of grade 8-10 debate / discussion activities, perfect for developing collaboration and critical thinking skills all year long, bundled at 10% off! Designed with MYP in mind but appropriate for any middle school, high school, international, or homeschool STEM curriculum.

    In each activity, students take on one of 5 character roles or scenarios to debate and discuss controversial topics. In the process, they will explore a variety of scientific and interdisciplinary concepts. Print and share or use the included slides for a paperless digital experience. Can be used as a formative assessment to check for understanding or as a summative assessment using the included MYP rubrics (criteria A and D).

    Covering Biology, Chemistry, and Physics topics, these debate / discussion activities can be used as a way to consolidate learning or introduce a new topic. They also make great formative assessments aligned with MYP content and learning objectives!

    to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
    Initiate and participate effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grades 9–10 topics, texts, and issues, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly and persuasively.
    Come to discussions prepared, having read and researched material under study; explicitly draw on that preparation by referring to evidence from texts and other research on the topic or issue to stimulate a thoughtful, well-reasoned exchange of ideas.
    Work with peers to set rules for collegial discussions and decision-making (e.g., informal consensus, taking votes on key issues, presentation of alternate views), clear goals and deadlines, and individual roles as needed.
    Propel conversations by posing and responding to questions that relate the current discussion to broader themes or larger ideas; actively incorporate others into the discussion; and clarify, verify, or challenge ideas and conclusions.
    Respond thoughtfully to diverse perspectives, summarize points of agreement and disagreement, and, when warranted, qualify or justify their own views and understanding and make new connections in light of the evidence and reasoning presented.
