Set the Challenge
"Design a protest sign for today’s concept"
Draft the Slogan
Craft a short, witty phrase that captures the point

Troll Trap
Spin Facts to Sharpen Skepticism
⏰ When To Use
🎯 Success Outcome
📋 Implementation
Create Your Spin
Students take a lesson fact and write a short, persuasive—but biased—statement
Reveal the Trick
Under it, note exactly how the fact was twisted (omitted data, exaggeration, one‑sided sources)
Find the Bias
Swap with a partner; partner pinpoints the manipulation and corrects it
🧠 Why This Works
Playing the “troll” exposes the mechanics of misinformation, sharpening critical‑thinking reflexes
Bingo Backfire
Choice Board with Collective Consequences
⏰ When To Use
🎯 Success Outcome
📋 Implementation
Pick & Mark a Square
Student chooses a square on the shared classroom bingo board, each holding a restorative task (apology note, classroom job, peer compliment)
Complete the Row
If their mark finishes any row, the whole class performs that final task together—collective consequence
Monthly Reset
Board hangs at the back of the room and resets at month’s end
🧠 Why This Works
Choice plus potential class impact turns impulsive behavior into reflective accountability and positive peer pressure
