What would you do?
K–8 · Any subject · Discuss and debate
What students see
What if our school had no bells for a whole week? Would that be a good idea or a bad one? Pick a side, give one reason, and reply to a classmate who picked the other side.
Why it works
A playful what-if gives younger students an easy way to take a side and give a reason, which is the start of discussion. Nobody needs background knowledge to join in.
How to run it
- Add it to your Space. The Topic comes with this prompt and these settings, and you can edit both.
- Share the Topic link with your students.
- Approve posts as they come in. Until then only the person who posted and Space admins can see them.
Make it yours
Tie the question to a unit, such as life without electricity or a story with a different ending. Give early readers two choices and a sentence frame.
