Role in Community: Four Corners Discussion Slides
A slide-show packet for 6th graders that opens with a proverb about teamwork and walks students through a Four Corners activity, where they take a stance on a statement and defend their reasoning with peers. It builds speaking, listening, and perspective-sharing skills, and suits a 45-minute whole-class block or a gradual-release lesson.
“Put the content of this document into a slide show with graphics. Do not delete any words or include additional words.”
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a warm-up or hook for a unit on community roles, projecting the opening proverb and letting students react before the Four Corners routine begins.
- Discussion questions: What does the proverb "If you want to go quickly, go alone" mean to you, and do you agree? Why did you choose your corner, and what would change your mind?
- Scaffold for struggling readers by previewing the four corner labels and giving a sentence frame such as "I agree/disagree because..." before they move.
- Extension for advanced students: ask them to play devil's advocate by arguing from the corner opposite their own view, then reflect on what that revealed.
- Estimated time is about 45 minutes, including the walkthrough of the steps, one or two statement rounds, and a brief whole-class share-out.
