ENDURING QUESTION: "On the path to freedom, is it ever necessary to question authority?"
Activating Strategy:
1. If members of your Jigsaw Team have seen the movie, have any of you ever wondered what it would be like if another country invaded the United States?
Discuss with your Jigsaw Team. |
2. What do members of your Jigsaw Team think would happen if YOU became the enemy?
Discuss with your Jigsaw Team. |
3. Activator Scenario (to be discussed with your Jigsaw Team):
The U.S. is under siege and is being occupied by hostile forces! One day you come home from school, and your parents tell you that you are going into hiding...
Although you don't know how long you will be in hiding, you can only pack ONE SUITCASE.
You:
- CANNOT pack ELECTRONICS (cell phones, iPads, laptops, etc.).
- have to WEAR as many clothes as possible.
- CANNOT take any PETS.
Your parents have already packed all your toiletries (toothbrushes, shampoo, soap, etc.), medicine, and food at the hiding place.
On a separate sheet of paper, your group needs to list 10 items that you would take with you and why.
You have 5 minutes - your Jigsaw Team will share with the class, so be prepared!
