CCOT Introduction

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.

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.
