Activity 1: Present – Discuss

We will engage in a peer presentation and review of our arguments, then submit them to our teacher.

Form groups of three or four, aiming to create groups with various perspectives regarding the prompt.

Then, share your final argument. Describe and reflect on the experiences and processes that led you to this final product.

Submit your final essay to your teacher.

Activity 2: Discuss

Individually and as a class, we will review and evaluate what we learned in the unit, its topics, and argumentation.

Using the Culminating Task Progress Tracker, assess your own learning, work, and improvement in this unit.

With the class, discuss what you have learned about civil disobedience, loyalty, and Greek tragedies. Then, talk about the skills of delineating, evaluating, and developing arguments.

Activity 3: Discuss

We will examine and discuss possible connections among the unit, other units from the year, and the research we might choose to do in the final Application Unit.

Follow along as your teacher overviews the Application Unit and the collaborative and independent research project you will be doing to complete the year’s learning. Ask questions about what will be expected of you and what options you will have for completing the culminating project.

Individually, reflect on what interested you during this unit and what you might want to explore further. Capture these reflections on the Application Unit Potential Topics Tool. Use the following questions to help guide your reflection:

  1. Were there any particular topics or texts that captured your attention? Why?

  2. What about each text or topic do you still want to study? What questions do you still have? Write these down in the Questions or Subtopics to Explore column.

  3. How would you begin to research each text or topic?

As a class or in groups, have a final discussion about what engaged you in this unit as well as what and how you might want to study further for the final Application Unit.
