Has anyone tried the CCOT Introduction Activity with something other than the farm images? Looking for something very engaging and teenage-friendly for a special class of kids that need a little extra . Like, a PRE-Introduction lesson?

Hi Julianne Horowitz , I've used clothing trends to help introduce CCOT. I learned a lot from my students about what they think is cool fashion-wise and it was fun for them to be the experts. I think it also helps show that continuities tend to be broader trends while changes can range from small tweaks to sweeping revolutions.

This is a GREAT idea - very student-friendly! Do you have anything put together that I can build from?
Erin Cunningham do you pair this with the post-it/axis activity from the CCOT Intro?
Honestly, it was a very informal conversation. Kids were struggling with continuities so it was a spur of the moment conversation to help them grasp the concept.
But you could totally formalize it! It would be cool to create a slide with the axes and have kids insert pictures. It would also help illustrate that there's argumentation to CCOT--especially with the positive and negative axes.
