Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Do I have to be a Depth and Complexity expert to use these? Not at all! Depth and Complexity frames can be used by people who are very, very new to the Depth and Complexity framework. In this resource, you'll find a link to find everything I've ever written about Depth and Complexity, so you'll be just fine.
2. How ready to use are these Depth and Complexity frames? Just print them and hand them out. It's that simple. If your students don't know the framework, just tell them to ignore the little pictures and answer the questions. The small images are in color, but you can print them in black and white, no problem.
3. Can I leave these ready-to-use frames with a sub? I'd recommend having the students complete one before leaving them with a sub, just so students are comfortable with the format.
4. How did you choose which holidays to use? I chose based on what I thought teachers might need most. Sometimes teachers want to recognize a certain month, say, Asian/Pacific Heritage Month, but they're not sure what to do that doesn't seem exploitive or demeaning. I made frames that respect the topic. I included the 4th of July, even though most of us aren't in school then, because it can be used for any patriotic holiday.
