S TRATEGY F OCUS #2: A CCESSING T HEMATIC E SSENTIAL Q UESTIONS THROUGH ROUNDTABLE

E SSENTIAL T HEMATIC Q UESTIONS R OUNDTABLE As a team, read through the provided list of Essential Questions (grouped by topic). Select one question from the list and discuss, using real-world examples, personal observations/experiences, literature, historical events, etc. As you discuss, jot down ideas on your quadrant placemat, using sentences, words, diagrams, and/or pictures. Be prepared to share out ideas using Numbered Heads! Let’s FISHBOWL first…

T ODAY ’ S T HEMATIC E SSENTIAL Q UESTIONS … 1. What is the American Dream ? 2. Is the American Dream an illusion or a reality in today’s society? 3. Do all Americans have access to the American Dream? 4. What are the qualities and conditions required for someone to achieve their American Dream?

REFLECTION What is the American Dream? What associations do you have with the American Dream? Explain your experiences with detail. What can the American Dream symbolize? Why? How do your ideas on the American Dream differ from those of your parents or grandparents?

G ROUND R ULES FOR FOUR CORNERS Scholars will formulate an opinion on a given statement and provide written rationale (Post-its!). Scholars will move to pre-designated “Four Corners” and discuss the rationale for their opinion with other students who share their opinion. Scholars will share out their opinions and reasons with their classmates. Here we go…

Essential Question #2: Is the American Dream an illusion or a reality in today’s society? W RITING AND S PEAKING TO L EARN O PPORTUNITY : F OUR C ORNERS F OUR C ORNERS : T HE A MERICAN D REAM IS AN I LLUSION IN T ODAY ’ S S OCIETY. S TRONGLY A GREE A GREE D ISAGREE S TRONGLY D ISAGREE

S PEAKING AND W RITING TO L EARN O PPORTUNITY : P HILOSOPHICAL C HAIRS Philosophical Chairs: A LL A MERICANS HAVE ACCESS TO THE A MERICAN D REAM. Provide evidence to support you position. Essential Question #3: Do all Americans have access to the American Dream?

G ROUND R ULES FOR P HILOSOPHICAL C HAIRS Depending on your opinion, stand on the pre-determined side of the room. If undecided, stay in the neutral zone (for a limited about of time) so that you can see both sides. Address your fellow scholars by first name. Briefly summarize the previous speaker’s points before stating your own position and supporting evidence. Think before you speak and organize your thoughts (“I have three points to make…first…”). After speaking, wait until at least two other students speak (from your side!) before speaking again. Speak in turn and respect others while they share. Address the ideas, not the person. Here we go…

P HILOSOPHICAL C HAIRS A SSESSMENT S TRATEGY : T ICKET - OUT - THE -D OOR How many times did you contribute to the philosophical dialogue? What was the most convincing argument you heard during the activity? What made this argument so persuasive ? Did your opinion on the topic change ? Why or why not? Provide specific evidence from the activity to support why your thinking changed or stayed the same.
