⭐️ As you know, Pear Deck is a great Google Slides Add-on to get more student participation and make your presentations more interactive!
⭐️ FREE BONUS LESSON INCLUDED: Socratic Seminar Lesson Plan -- Improve your students' critical thinking and communication skills with this interactive Google Slides presentation -- a complete lesson on carrying out a Socratic Seminar, including a Socratic Seminar definition, Socratic Seminar self-assessment rubric, rules for Socratic Seminar, Socratic Seminar sentence starters/frames, AND moderator question frames. There are also slides to add your Socratic Seminar questions and readings!
⭐️ If you do a Socratic Seminar with at least two of the topics (ideas included), assign 3-4 readings with each topic, and follow up (extend/elaborate) with the extension assignments, this entire bundle gives you enough material for at least one year!
⭐️ There are Pear Deck slides with questions at the beginning of the Google Slides presentations to activate students’ prior knowledge, temperature checks throughout the presentations, and higher-level questions at the end to stimulate critical thinking. The presentations will open in Google Slides, but you will need to get the Pear Deck Add-on if you don't already have it. It's very easy to use and you can just get the free version!

⭐️ These interactive presentations can be used with face-to-face instruction, distance learning, OR a blended, hybrid, or flipped learning approach in an English language arts (English Learners included), AVID, Advisory, or Life Skills class.
⭐️ Counselors can also use these slides to give a college and career readiness presentation to a large audience or help students one-on-one or in small groups.
⭐️ Each product is a COMPLETE LESSON in one place (similar to a Hyperdoc, which takes students through the learning cycle in one doc or slide deck using hyperlinks and other media).
⭐️ The time it takes for each lesson will vary depending on how much discussion and other extension activities you include. You and/or your students can get through one presentation in one class, or you might spend two to three days or more on it if you assign the extension activities. Instructional time also depends on your students’ levels.
⭐️ These lessons have it all:
- Explicit instruction: Lessons are direct and systematically chunked following a 5E lesson plan and guide students with a clear purpose/essential question, explanation, and supported practice/extension.
- 21st-century skills: Students use media and technology literacy skills with these interactive Google Slides presentations and use critical thinking, collaboration, and communication with all the opportunities for discussion.
- Multi-modalities and hands-on learning: Students view and/or listen to the presentations, write and talk about their learning in “think-write-pair-shares” and discussion groups, and possibly more depending on what you assign in the extension, such as producing an essay or video to demonstrate understanding and synthesizing ideas.
- Differentiation: Depending on students’ levels, you could present to the class as a whole and/or assign students to view the slides independently or in small groups and answer the questions as you see fit.
- Scaffolding: These complete lessons come in manageable parts, from activating prior knowledge to reflection and assessment, and can be teacher- or student-paced.
- Higher levels of questioning: The discussion questions require higher-level thinking such as analysis, evaluation, and synthesis.
- Real-life connection: The college and career-readiness topics and essential questions are meaningful and relevant to students’ futures.
- Student choice: To add student choice, give students options of strategies, tools, and/or extension activities.
⭐️ SUGGESTIONS FOR USE:
1. Present the slides in a face-to-face lecture OR through a video conference lecture by sharing your screen. To make your presentation more interactive and engaging (and less of a teacher-centered lecture), be sure to have students log in to your Pear Deck presentation on their own devices and respond on the slides with interactive questions. Share and discuss their answers and stop to check comprehension as needed.
Note: You can choose your lesson mode in Pear Deck, either student or instructor-paced. I use the instructor-paced mode so I can guide students through the lesson in real-time. If your students are face-to-face with you and you do not have enough devices, allow students to share devices if possible or participate without a device. Also, suggest to students who want to take notes that they take screenshots instead so they don't fall behind in the lesson.
2. Send students a "force copy" of the slide deck so they have it to review on their own, especially if they missed class. This also helps students who might worry about taking notes during your lesson.
3. Follow the lesson plan and extra ideas given with the product directions.
