DETAILS :
There are a total of 5 Rangers
Black Ranger Station : Group divided in half on either side of the room . Current event articles where on one side with a small $ 20.00 drone from target . Students had to read an article . They attached the title of the article to the bottom of the drone . They then flew it to their group mates on the opposite side of the room . Their group mates then classified the article into one of the categories ie : relevance , magnitude , unexpectedness etc . They then flew the drone back with the category and then their group mates had to support why fell in that category .
Blue Ranger Station : Students given a task to code a robotic mouse to complete a task . They then had a reflection they had to complete .
Red Ranger Station : Support if their enemies should have human rights or not from the red ranger ’ s point of view ( debate )
Yellow Ranger Station : Non-Fiction close read with Mrs . King on Jason David Frank
Pink Ranger Station : STEAM Team Challenge

CONCLUSION

The Kings taught this lesson to grades 5-8 . At the end of the third day all grade levels reported to the gym . Mr . King made an announcement one by one to the grades . He said that if you have the yellow power coin please come insert it in the power box . He did this for each Ranger . If there was at least one power coin per grade level it unlocks that ranger . Once all of the rangers were unlocked he made the announcement , “ you have unlocked the Green Ranger challenge , but you have also unlocked the original green ranger JASON DAVID FRANK !!” Jason came running out of the tunnel to surprise the kids . Jason then did a self confidence lesson and karate lesson with the students .
