Chalk Talk

Good Afternoon!

Below are some pictures of a classroom activity based on the 12 causes of the fall of the Roman empire using an Expeditionary Learning protocol called "Chalk Talk"

Students were presented with the 12 problems through a spirit read, then asked to sort the problems with a small group. Next, they make connections between the problems and provided possible solutions to the problems.
