Humanity’s Journey
Discrepant Event
Lesson Title:
Friends
Problem-solving, thinking skills, cooperative brainstorming, and learning content.
Content, for this discrepant event lesson, brings an anti-smoking message.
You and your students will also gain a bank
of extensive information about tobacco and tobacco use.
To keep the lesson interesting, remember to use images, such as this one (Baby, Light my Fire), after the discrepant event ends.
Before the discrepant event, it's important
to use images (relating to the discrepant event)
that give few, if any clues.
You can judge this partly by the age of your students'
and their interest level.
