We had our first session today (rescheduled from our last snow storm) and we discussed the basic structure of the three act lesson and went through a 3 Act Demo from Dan Meyer called "playing catch up," which I like to call "Me and Julio."
Here is the entire presentation.
You can also download the three act from Dan Meyer's site
Here are the 4 suggested readings and activities to prepare for the next session:
1. Read this Intro to 3 Act Lessons
2. Read the Focus on Act 1 and make sure to review the video (see below):
3. Read Geoff Krall's entry on getting started with 3 Acts.
4. Teach a 3 Act in your class and share your experience with the group. What worked well? What are you wondering? If you don't have a chance to teach a 3 Act, share one that you are interested in teaching or have taught and get feedback from the group.
Here are a few suggested resources for finding a great 3 Act lesson:
Dan Meyer's Spreadsheet
Geoff Krall's CCSS maps
101 Questions
Andrew Stadel's Spreadsheet
If you have any other great 3 Act resources please email me.
If you are able to share your work on a 3 Act lesson in our next session, we would love to post supporting media that you found or that you created. Send me an email a few nights before with the links, visuals and documents you have and I can incorporate them into the session.
