Lesson Development -activities and transitions (CCT Domain 1): Anticipation: Review some main points from discussion about teens being tried as adults and explain we are going to research this idea further. Hand out directions (attached). Modeling and Guided Practice: Read directions with students. Hand out  website assessment worksheet (attached) and model a credible and non credible site. This will be review as we have done this before. Hand out Chromebooks and students will begin assessing websites. Students may work in partners for this part of the assignment. When completed, students hand in to me and I check for validity. One source in non credible. I will be looking for students to have that answer before they can begin their research. Independently, students complete tasks 2 and 3, (see attached directions).
