#SSDecisionMaking: Which Road Would You Adopt?

10/19/2020

0 Comments

 
Welcome to our new series of elementary interactive decision-making lessons created with Nearpod. This lesson involves making decisions about adopting a road, as seen in the Adopt-a-Highway program.
This Adopt-a-Road Nearpod lesson can be used with K-5 for literacy and social studies as it focuses on economic decision-making and civic participation. In addition, the lesson hits science standards in K-1. Here is the editable link ​. If you start your own free Nearpod account, you can edit the lesson to serve your needs. 

During the lesson, students are introduced to problems with litter and the Adopt-a-Road program. Then, students engage with a decision-making lesson where they have to decide which road to adopt. You can save and edit the Nearpod activity on this editable link or you can use the preview link like a slideshow.
Extras: For more information on the Adopt-a-Road program, visit the Florida Department of Transportation.

We have also included the handouts if you want to download and use them with your students!
