Read the two choices
Would you rather have a turkey as your teacher or teach a class of 30 turkeys? Read the choices aloud and have students show A or B with fingers, paper cards, or a quick tally on the board.
Make time for a reason
Give pairs 30 seconds each to explain a choice using “I’d pick ___ because ___.” Then ask one student from each side to share a reason. For English learners, model a short answer first and let them rehearse with a partner.
Turn the vote into a writing prompt
Ask students to write the first rule in their imaginary classroom. Early finishers can draw what happens when the rule is broken, or write a second sentence imagining how a turkey might respond.
