Interact, Brainstorm, and Share

3. Class Discussion
Today the United States is engaged
in a global struggle with smaller
countries that support terrorism
and dislike the U.S. Who are some
of these countries and why are
they a big problem for the U.S.?

4. Collaboration
Meet in pairs or
small groups and
brainstorm ideas
for this topic
4

5. Brainstorming
Solving problems can begin with a wide open
process where imagination and unusual ideas are
brainstormed without any evaluation as to whether the
ideas might work. The goal is to consider all “far out”
and “unorthodox” possible solutions to the problem.
Brainstorming encourages “out of the box” thinking
that borders on sounding somewhat wild and crazy.
During BRAINSTORMING, ideas are tossed into the
ring and added to the list of potential solutions Without
being evaluated.
Participants are asked to withhold judgment on ideas until the brainstorming
phase is over.

6. Brainstorming uses
Divergent Thinking
Ideas are explored from every
possible direction.
Ideas are not judged.
Ideas outside of the box
are considered.

7. Brainstorm
What can we do to
reduce the chances of
a terrorist attack?

11. Common Core Curriculum Standards
Research
 Plan/Research
: Devise an
approach and
conduct short
focused research
projects to
explore a topic,
issue or problem,
analyzing
interrelationships
among concepts
or perspectives.
11

12. Common Core Curriculum Standard
Reading-Informational
 Reasoning and
Evaluation: Apply
reasoning and a range
of textual presentation
of
information(author’s
line of reasoning,
point of view;
relevance of evidence
or elaboration to
support claims;
development or
connections among
complex
concepts/ideas) 12

13. Convergent Thinking
Once many potential
solutions have been
generated, the evaluation
phase begins. During this
phase, convergent
thinking is used to analyze
arguments, examine
evidence, and make
judgments about the quality
of each idea.

14. Conduct Research on the Issues
 Use technology to
gather information about
terrorism and ideas to
reduce future terrorist
attacks.
 This will be a short
research assignment and
should generate one or
two pages of notes. The
notes will used during the
next class discussion to
review ideas and
solutions.
14

15. Essential Questions to
Guide Research
 What factors contribute
to terrorism?
 Why is terrorism on the
increase?
 How do we deal with
home grown terrorists?
 What can be done to
protect Americans from
terrorist acts.

delineate the group’s
rationale for the decision.

43. Present Your Group’s Position
