Provocation to the unit - Bus Stop Activity

Bus-stop activity

Students did a BUS-STOP activity and stopped and pondered at the five different stops.

PARKING LOT

‘Parking Lot’ was a reflection activity for students to generate a list of responses. After each bus-stop activity, students wrote their reflections. In the end the whole class gallery-walked to read each-others’ responses.
