I use Orgins as my primary set of materials but I often fell set with the activities I already selected. Today I checked out this Expanding Power Opener. It fits so well with the Iowa standard I currently use about expanding power. I was impressed with the engagement. After step four I have students lift up their conversations where they compared the response. A student equated religious tolerance with respect and explained why it was most important. Another student rank it number 8 and said while it may be important to maintain power it was less important for expanding power. I felt good about every minute we spenty on this and I did not have to modify anything. How are you and your students reacting to this activity?
