with disrespect. The students walk around the room while playing this game. Then the
teacher asks the students to guess what their card value was by the way others treated
them.
• Make videos—One of my high school student’s favorite lessons was recreatng television
commercials. First, each student group chose a commercial and analyzed the stereotypes or
misconceptons in the commercial. Then the students tried to recreate the same commercial
without the stereotypes or misconceptons.
• Move the lesson outside. Try any of these outdoor tasks:
o Round robin discussions — Students sit in small groups on the ground or on picnic
benches and discuss a topic; one student keeps a record of the discussion. The class will
then come together, with each group reportng its fndings.
o Go on a scavenger hunt — Students can look for objects of a certain color, texture, and
so forth. If you want to add a digital aspect, have them record certain sounds, and then
have other students hunt for these sounds. Have the students take close-up pictures of
objects and have others hunt for the object.
o Do a feld study — I’ve had elementary students hunt for fossils with a paleontologist,
collect and analyze weather data with a meteorologist, and explore the microbes in a
nearby river with a water engineer. A majority of these actvites required only a phone
call, and we even walked to some of the events. In Germany, school groups walk to
several places or take public transportaton, which lowers the cost to make more feld
trips possible.
o Journal — Students can simply listen to the sounds around them and describe the
experience in a journal, or each one can pick a place to sit and compose a poem, create
a comic, or draw.
