Resources:

Some ideas here...

What to do:

This idea was one of many I picked up from #TMReading by AST Dr Love. 
He shared the concept of would you rather...

For example...
  1. Live without music or live without T.V.?
  2. Eat a bar of soap or drink a bottle of dish washing liquid?
  3. Hold your pee forever or have an uncontrollable bladder?
  4. Be called a racist or a traitor to your country?
  5. Be trapped in an elevator with wet dogs or with three fat men with bad breath?
  6. Lose your legs or lose your arms?
  7. Have a beautiful house and an ugly car or an ugly house and a beautiful car?
  8. Be blind or deaf?
  9. Live in Antarctica or Death Valley?
  10. Find true love or 10 million dollars?
  11. Always say what’s on your mind or never speak again?
  12. Have pom-poms for hands or glow sticks for fingers?
  13. Be able to hear any conversation or take back what you said?
  14. End hunger or hatred?
  15. Always lose or never play?
  16. Fly when you fart or pee when you laugh?
  17. Know it all or have it all?
  18. Give bad advice or take bad advice?
  19. Have a mansion in the middle of nowhere or an apartment with 10 friends?
  20. Be forgotten or hatefully remembered?
  21. Not be able to use your phone or your email?
  22. Be rich with an unhappy job or make less money with a job you like?
  23. Be able to read everyone’s mind all the time or always know their future?
  24. Eat a handful of hair or lick three public telephones? 
  25. Be schizophrenic or have amnesia?
  26. Talk like Yoda or breathe like Darth Vador?
  27. Marry a vain person or a person with poor image?
  28. Eat 30 pounds of cheese in one sitting or a bucket of peanut butter without water?
He then suggested turning these into learning activities...

Would you rather...BUT- I am suggesting the would you rather activities are SIMILAR in difficulty levels. And NOT any easier options. 

  1. Describe photosynthesis by recalling the equation or Draw the process of photosynthesis
  2. List the features of a cactus that make it live in the desert or draw a cactus and for each labelled adaptation write a sentence on how that adaptation helps it survive in the desert
I really like this principle!

Variations:

Ask students to create their own?
