Learning Activity #1: Work Time - students create google slides in groups
Say: I have had a chance to review your crime scene plans from last class. On each of your
plans you will find some feedback from me. Make sure to take a look at it and read it with your
group before you begin to transfer your information to your google slides presentation.
Say: Remember our class rules! I expect you to stay on task by completing your assignment
and not playing games or fooling around.
Do: Circulate classroom ensuring students are staying on task and creating their Google
Slides. Help students by giving instructions on how and where to apply their work on google
slides.
Ask (different groups): Are the clues clear so that your classmates will be able to find the
correct suspect? Have you included all the pieces necessary for a complete crime scene?
Say: Now that you have finished your google slides it is time for you to write an exit slip about
your experience individually.
Assessments/Differentiation:
Observe group work to ensure each group understands whats expected to go on the google
slide presentation. Encourage students to stay on task by asking questions about their crime
scene and their suspects. Encourage them to share the workload equally between their group
members. Questions like Are the clues clear so that your classmates will be able to find the
correct suspect? Have you included all the pieces necessary for a complete crime scene?
asking them probing questions that invoke thought. Provide struggling students with sentence
frames or starters. to help them begin their reflective statements.
Closure: (5 min)
Consolidation/Assessment of Learning:
Ask: Has every group successfully transferred their crime scene to a google slide? What is
the value of using technology?
Ask: What key points did you put in your group include in your crime scene?
Do: Make sure every group has the proper information typed in the google slides and they
have reflected on the experience of making a crime scene.
Feedback From Students:
Encourage students to ask questions if they need any clarification.
Do: Collect exit slips from students.
Feedback To Students:
Say: Today you all did a great job working with your groups! I hope that tomorrow you will be
able to keep it up! Tomorrow I know that you will continue to work hard and be kind. (Adjust
feedback based on classroom observations, give areas for improvement if required.)
Transition To Performance Task:
Say: Next class each of you will test your detective skills! We will see if you have really
earned your detective badges as you try to solve the crimes that one of the other groups have
developed. You will need to gather evidence and solve the crime you are assigned.
