1 30 Engaging Task Cards!

2 Teacher Info Southwest Asia s Geography Gallery Walk Print and cut out the 30 task cards. (You may wish to laminate them so that you can use them again next year. Also, to save ink, you may want to print in black and white.) Tape the cards around your classroom & hallway, spacing them out so that they aren t too close together. Project the directions slide onto the board and give each student a response sheet. (I recommend printing front & back so that it s 1 page.) Discuss the Gallery Walk rules with your students: 1-2 students per card, whispering only (or no talking at all), walk from card to card, plus any other expectations that you have in your classroom. The students will move around the room and record their answers to the task cards onto their response sheets. When finished, they should return to their desks.

Only 1-2 people can work on a card at a time, so if there are too many people, please find another card. You don t need to talk for this activity, but if you need to discuss a card or get ideas from a neighbor, please whisper. If you are being silly, I will ask you to return to your desk.
