✅ The FULL Preview for a FULL walkthrough of this Fun March Madness Activity

​

I would begin by dividing the class into the four divisions found on the bracket: East, West, South, and Midwest. Once in their equal groups, students will research a team from their division, fill out an infographic and create trading cards for that team.#dreamteam When students have their trading cards completed and are familiar with their players, they will cut them out and start building their dream team. At the end of each round, the East, West, South, and Midwest Division groups will work together to determine each team's individual players' stats for that single game that round.
