The essential question checklist
Not sure if your unit question is actually juicy? Run it through this checklist before you build anything else. If it can't hold a room full of opinions for a few weeks, you'll know right away (and you'll know what to fix).

Revenge Ball: a fun review game for any subject
This was my take on “Trashketball” (a pretty popular game on TpT). Except you know I had to put a DHT spin on it so there’s student roles, timers built into the slides, and I used a streetball design to bring everything together. (There’s a slide with the game rules, I gotchu)

The Daily Squabble: great questions for high school students
The Daily Squabble was born when I taught a Debate elective and wanted a fun warm up for the last month of school. There’s 20 questions that are sure to get your students talking. They range from lighthearted (Are there more doors in the world or wheels?) to heavier topics (Should teenagers ever be tried as adults and placed in adult prisons?).

Cartoon propaganda analysis
I use these short cartoon clips to demonstrate how media can be used to push a particular message/belief. Great for ELA or Social Studies!
