Dotocracy
Engage the class in choosing which topics to study or readings to use.
Dotocracy is a way to vote as a class using sticker dots. The teacher provides (or the class generates) a list of 8-12 options of texts to read, topics to study, or essential questions to pursue. Students must examine and consider options. Then, they vote using sticky dots. The options with the most votes are selected for inclusion in the curriculum.
