Every year I change how I use the Recipe for a Revolution activity. This year, with the help of Brisk AI, I created this handout for students (here's a link to what we completed together in one of my classes). In the past, some students got hung up on the recipe analogy because they were unfamiliar with how recipes work so the guided practice and the template really helped scaffold and prevent that hang up. I also liked starting with the cake warm-up because it kickstarted a conversation about necessary vs. optional ingredients and proportions, which was helpful for thinking about necessary vs. relevant causes and importance.
How do you use this activity in your classes?
