We started a new unit today, and our anchoring phenomenon was a picture Mrs. Brinza snapped from the side of the road one day back in October. She lives out by the forest preserve, and saw a dead raccoon on the side of the road. So what did she do?!?!?! Take a picture of it, of course!
We spent a good portion of the class really thinking about the raccoon, and while we tried to not think about how it died (there would be no way to figure this out now), we spent time noticing and wondering about the raccoon, especially since Mrs. Brinza has driven on these roads recently and the raccoon is no longer there.
Everyone had something related to share, and it seems like everyone has had some sort of experience with roadkill.
