Stage 3 - Learning Plan

Where are your students headed? Where have they been? How will you make sure the students know where they are going? All teachers should know where the T drive is and be able to open notebook files and save them to that location as well as to their H drives. We will roam the room and ensure each teacher has files open from that location. How will you hook students at the beginning of the unit? With exemplars created and displayed in the am. What events will help students experience and explore the big idea and questions in the unit? How will you equip them with needed skills and knowledge? Mini lessons in corners in just in time sessions for learning movie maker and audacity Working in small groups with one laptop to experience a pod like classroom situation Through am exemplars How will you cause students to reflect and rethink? How will you guide them in rehearsing, revising, and refining their work? Pull tabs on sides of exemplars reflect They need to add their own pull tabs to their performance task to rethink why they did what they did Presenting to others starting with the essential question How will you help students to exhibit and self-evaluate their growing skills, knowledge, and understanding throughout the unit? Rubric provided Demonstrate how one of our exemplars scores on the rubric. How will you tailor and otherwise personalize the learning plan to optimize the engagement and effectiveness of ALL students, without compromising the goals of the unit?
