    Grade 11 · A complete six-week instructional unit · No-prep, ready-to-teach

    A complete six-week Grade 11 unit, not a one-off activity. Students become Kindness Investigators: they read what great writers said about generosity, dig into the real science and the real debate behind it, then design and pitch a pay-it-forward campaign for their school.

    Questions that survive the silence — and turn it into thinking

    The 5-Minute Retrieval Starter

    A quick warm-up to replace "reread your notes"
