In-Depth, Student-Centered Learning Packets
In-depth investigation leads to deeper understanding. New packets help guide students to think critically about a variety of subjects. Lasting about two weeks, each packet contains several lessons, each building on the previous, to lead students through five phases of learning: engage, explore, explain, elaborate, and evaluate. Student-centered learning activities encourage high academic achievement through inquiry and collaboration. Each packet provides topic background for the teacher; then each lesson takes the teacher step-by-step through activities. Additional information is provided for essential questions, skill focus, objectives and outcomes,
assessments, resources, and related FCCLA programs. Includes a CD of the entire packet, including student handouts and PowerPoints.
