Lessons

**Below are the lessons co-created by the network groups.**  IMPORTANT NOTE: Lessons are created with the students, circumstance and end goal (learning goals) in mind. In selecting the lesson, keep the learning goal and where your students are at in mind. The intention here is to use the lessons by adapting them to your situation and students' needs. It is crucial that the highlights/summary chart makes sense to you and is generated out of your students' work.

**To add a lesson:**
