in PK-12 and drama.
-Friendly feud (multiple right answers to one question) can be used
through Edmodo. The teacher can post a question about the text read
with answers which are all right without informing the students of
multiple right answers. The students can then pick the answer they find
most correct and most their reason why. This creates a friendly debate/
collaboration between students. This can be assigned as homework to do
at home and then discussed further in class.
SCI SOL 5.5- The student will investigate and understand that
organisms are made of one or more cells and have distinguishing
characteristics that play a vital role in the organisms ability to survive
and thrive in its environment.
-The teacher assigns students a part of the cell to go home and research.

see. The students can then build collaborative notes of the whole cell(s).
This creates collaborative notes and allows the students to experience
instruction and explanation from peers rather than teachers.
WG SOL 2- The student will analyze how selected physical and
ecological processes shape the Earths surface.
-The teacher will assign the students to create questions with answers on
the topics discussed throughout the section during class time. The

the students to go home and take as a review before the test on the
subject.
