Classroom integration- November

Classroom Integration Ideas:
  • Wonders of the World Map Bulletin Board - Display a map and give each student a pushpin to indicate the most exciting wonder of the world they have visited (they do not have to be the original 7) Before they can place their pin on the board they must share the story with group members as an “get to know you” activity.
  • Label class groups by the 7 Wonders.  Students should create a group chant to build unity.
  • In a Foreign Foods course have groups do reports specifically on the countries where the 7 Wonders are found.
  • Inspiration Boards -
      1. In Design courses have students create inspiration boards to help facilitate the design process.
      2. In Core courses create vision boards (but call them inspiration boards) when discussing values, goals, and decision making.
  • Partner interviews - have students interview a partner then introduce them to the class using the following prompts.  
      1. Great Barrier Reef - how do you demonstrate your diversity
      2. Harbor of Rio de Janeiro - describe a time when looking at something with a different perspective helped solve a problem
      3. Mount Everest - a time when you were on top of the world or a real high point of your life
      4. Grand Canyon - a time when you disappointed or experienced a low in your life
      5. Aurora - the most eerie thing you’ve experienced
      6. Paricutin Volcano - a time when you surprised someone
      7. Victoria Falls - share something spectacular about yourself
  • Aurora Borealis - Bake star shaped cookies on a POW introduction day.
