EXTENSION ACTIVITIES
These sessions are optional and self-guided and meant to be accessed by the student using an online platform.
The following optional extension activities are available for deeper exploration of the topics and ideas in each session. Educators and volunteers may pick and choose from the extensions to address additional objectives or to extend the 45-minute sessions. Extension activities are designed for participants to complete independently. Educators and volunteers may choose to lead the introduction and wrap-up with participants in person (face-to-face in the classroom) or virtually (online in a remote classroom), or they can assign participants to complete the work as an entirely self-guided activity. The extensions may be implemented at any time, but suggestions for the corresponding sessions have been provided in the Extension Activity Planner.
