Daily Stingers (Bellringers)
Every class begins with the same 10-minute routine, using the deck below:
- Rewrite today’s question in your own words, on your own line.
- Write your response. At least 3 sentences, aim for 5. Explain your thinking. Don’t just answer in a single word or phrase. Stuck on how to start? Try: “I think ___ because ___. One example of this is ___.”
- Share your response with a classmate.
- Copy their response underneath yours.
- Synthesize what the two responses had in common, in 1 to 2 sentences.
Responses are recorded on the stinger response sheet and compiled across the unit into that unit’s F6: Stinger Grade (see the Formative Assessment System in _planning/2026-27-scope-and-sequence.md).
Stinger Deck
PDD’s stinger deck is still TBD. Once it exists, replace the placeholder below with its Google Slides embed URL, the same way the FDD and ADD bellringer pages embed theirs.
