Description
Put some meaningful morning work into your daily routine with these "Top 3 List" activities! Get students discussing engaging topics, creating lists, defending their choices, and analyzing their own and others' decisions.
It's a great way to warm-up students' brains and get the morning started in a fun yet purposeful way.
This BUNDLE includes the following 3 resources:
- Morning Work with Meaning! Top 3 Lists {Set One}
- Morning Work with Meaning! Top 3 Lists {Set Two}
- Morning Work with Meaning! Top 3 Lists {Set Three: Holidays & Seasons}
Each of the three sets provide you with 12 week-long "Top 3 List" topics in a slideshow format (PDF, PowerPoint, and Google Slides versions included) for you to project onto your classroom screen or whiteboard. That's a total of 36 topics for 36 weeks. For example, What are your top 3 favorite recess activities? For each day of the week, students will complete a different task/prompt for that week's topic using the provided weekly record sheet (PDF and Google Slides versions included).
On Monday, they brainstorm ideas with neighbors and create their own Top 3 List. On Tuesday, they defend their #1 answer with a detailed explanation. On Wednesday, they might compare their #2 and #3 answers or expand their list to a fourth answer. On Thursday, students might be asked to pair up with a neighbor, share each other's list, and negotiate to create a new Top 3 list together. And on Friday, the topic is extended in a fun and unique way.
Here are the specifics on what's included in EACH of the three sets included in the bundle:
- Teacher Information to help you get started
- Record Sheets (one weekly record sheet for each of the 12 top-3-list topics; PDF and Google Slides formats)
- Slideshow (a set of five slides for each of the 12 top-3-list topics; you'll use one slide for each day of the week; PDF, PowerPoint, and Google Slides formats)
