⭐️ WHAT'S INCLUDED (a full 5E lesson that takes students through the entire learning cycle!):

• Engage: Questions to hook students and activate prior knowledge at the beginning of the presentation.
• Explore: Question to activate prior knowledge and the chance to ask questions before getting into the lesson.
• Explain: Explicit instruction including 10 strategies for effective time management and organization.
• Elaborate/Extend: Discussion questions at the end of the presentation AND four editable extension activities asking students to: 1) make a weekly schedule, 2) conduct a student survey to find out which organizational tools top students use (includes the link to a survey on a Google Doc), 3) show proof of their own time management system, and 4) show proof their own organizational system. (You can modify or delete any of the extension activities.)
• Evaluate: Overall lesson reflection questions at the end of the presentation.

• Extra: Great ideas for engaging students and extending the lesson even more!

⭐️ This presentation can be used with ANY SECONDARY CLASS, whether you're using face-to-face instruction, distance learning, OR a hybrid approach, but it's perfect for college and career readiness, life skills, or AVID classes.

⭐️ This product is a COMPLETE LESSON in one place (similar to a Hyperdoc, which takes students through the learning cycle in one doc or slide deck using hyperlinks and other media). Perfect for using as a differentiated, self-paced, student-centered lesson, and/or whole class presentation!

⭐️ The time it takes for the entire lesson will vary depending on how much time you allow for group discussions, follow-up class sharing, and extension activities. You could spend as little as 60 minutes on this lesson, or you could take one to three whole classes if you include some of your own examples and the extension activities.

⭐️ This lesson has it all:

• Explicit instruction: This lesson is direct and systematically chunked following a 5E lesson plan and guides students with a clear purpose/essential question, explanation, and supported practice/extension.
• 21st century skills: Students use media and technology literacy skills with this interactive Google Slides presentation and use critical thinking, collaboration, and communication with all the opportunities for discussion.
• Multi-modalities and hands-on learning: Students view and/or listen to the presentation, write and talk about their learning in “think-write-pair-shares” and discussion groups, and possibly more depending on what you assign in the extension, such as producing an essay or video to demonstrate understanding and synthesizing ideas.
• Differentiation: Depending on students’ levels, you could present to the class as a whole and/or assign students to view the slides independently or in small groups and answer the questions as you see fit.
• Scaffolding: This complete lesson comes in manageable parts, from activating prior knowledge to reflection and assessment, and can be teacher- or student-paced.
• Higher levels of questioning: The discussion questions require higher-level thinking such as analysis, evaluation, and synthesis.
• Real-life connection: The college and career-readiness topic and essential question are meaningful and relevant to students’ futures.
• Student choice: To add student choice, give students options of strategies, tools, and/or extension activities.
