17. Turning Rankings into Arguments
About this episode
In this episode of ENGAGE: Teaching the Social Studies, I share a quick, engaging strategy I recently tried in my classroom: the Tier List. This activity gets students ranking, debating, and discussing content in a way that’s fun and meaningful. Hear how it worked with my AP Government class and how it set the stage for deeper argumentative writing.
Looking for a new way to spark engagement? Tune in and give the Tier List a try!
