You asked for more agency when creating Custom Lessons and the ThinkCERCA team has answered that call. Our new Custom Lessons experience allows you to combine ThinkCERCA's framework for teaching critical thinking and expressing arguments with readings and writing prompts of your own creation. Watch the short video below to see how easy it is to create a Custom Lesson.
How to Create a Custom Lesson
From the Library:
- Go to the ThinkCERCA Tab.
- Scroll to the bottom to our Custom Lessons Section.
- Click on the + icon to start the lesson creation.
- Enter the title of your custom lesson.
- Enter the key question of your lesson.
- Select a rubric for the appropriate grade level. Please note, that once your custom lesson is assigned, the grade level and reading can no longer be edited.
- Copy your selected reading and paste it into the Lesson Reading section. Make sure to document the author of the reading.
- Once you have completed these fields, select “Submit” to create your Custom Lesson.
