The set up of each lesson will be similar:
“Hook” that hopefully piques the curiosity.
Research, that will include using all types of different resources (i.e., textbook, Internet, guest speakers, activities in class).
Project to apply the knowledge.
Pre/post assessments
PROCESS STANDARDS (how we DO the rest of the content below)
SE.PR x.01 Cause/Effect
SE.PR x.02 Primary Sources
SE.PR x.03 Information gathering
SE.PR x.04 Opposing viewpoints
SE.PR x.05 Research techniques/Current Events

It's hard to get used to this different system, where students get a say in how they show mastery. It takes deeper critical thinking and ownership of their learning. One way to think about it is... "SKILLS" = knowing / "ANALYTICAL" = doing / "CONTEXTUAL" = living.
Students will remember MUCH more if they DO or LIVE the lessons. See the image. We would like students to get to the bottom of this chart, where they will remember more.
CLASS STRUCTURE:
Opening Introduction to Theme
Background information
Pre-assessment
Group Activities in Class
Research / Homework
Projects (applying our knowledge)
Presentations / Post-assessment
GETTING GRADES ENTERED / CREDIT FOR WORK DONE:
Students are responsible to send an e-mail to: menadelook_roxy@asdk12.org with:
• Standard #
• Grade (what you want and why)… according to the RUBRIC!
• What you did well
• What you might improve on next time
• Your work (of course)
Students are encouraged to do more than just what is assigned in class. We will cover at least one major standard every 2-3 weeks (depending on the depth of the projects and class pace). Besides the standard we are covering, students may work ahead, or make up missing standards anytime. Buy doing a 'search' on the blog site, under the standard# or topic, they will see the past units that have been covered.
