provide factual information about the type of playground they are proposing;
playground equipment costs, health benefits and safety issues, and the steps
to creating a playground; and a concluding statement.
2. Discuss an Essential Question
After the presentations, discuss with students how the presentations helped
them think about the project΄s Essential Questions (p. 38). Have students
Pair and Share to discuss the most convincing reasons to build a playground.
Ask how their understanding of the Essential Questions has improved based
on what they learned from observing the presentations.

helped you answer:
• Why is it important to play?
• Why is safety important?
On a piece of paper, have students write one example of how another team’s
