I have been experimenting with stations this past year, but the South Asia Stations we have done for the past few days have been the most successful and the most engaging. We spent two days on them (25 minutes per station).
Station 1: Brainpop on Mt. Everest (Vocabulary practice, Graphic Organizer, Quiz)
www.brainpop.com
Benefit: Short, engaging video clips that students can start/stop to self-pace their learning while learning new vocabulary.
Station 2: Discovery Education Video Clip on India (Writing practice, Student Choice)
www.discoveryeducation.com
Benefit: Students get to pick a video about India that looks interesting while practicing their writing skills.
Station 3: Geography Alive! on Monsoon Asia (Critical Thinking Mapping Skills Practice)
(all high schools have this set of Geography Alive!)
Benefit: Students engaged in critical thinking and working collaboratively to analyze/interpret maps.
Station 4: Brainpop on Gandhi/Martin Luther King Jr. (Compare/Contrast Venn Diagram, Quiz)
www.brainpop.com
Benefit: Comparing/Contrasting skill builder while learning a key figure in India's history.
Station 5: Sheppard Software Mapping Game (Asia Map Memorization)
