Learning Experiences (Stage 3)

                   Consider the questions in the boxes below as you design learning experiences that support student achievement of desired results and exploration of unit essential questions.

 

 

                       Building Background/Connecting to Students’ Current Understandings, Knowledge and Skills

 

1. Students create a Photostory describing a story or non-fiction article from a specific genre. As students construct their Photostory they are asked respond to the following questions: Summarize what you have read? Identify the genre? Define the genre by its characteristics? How can you effectively distinguish between two types of reading genre?

 

2. Use the school library or online resources to select and read a stories from a a variety of genre.

 

3. Practice reading story summaries while practicing how to identify.....Genre, main characters, plot elements, the point of view and a description of the setting.

 

 

 

     B.  Student Exploration of Essential Questions

 

 

4. Students will use Google to search for effective definitions and examples of a definition of their genre, identifying and describing the main characters, plot elements, the setting, and point of view of story, or to research a topic.

 

5. Students will create a Photostory to convey the main ideas and supporting details for their story or non-fiction piece. Using a video clip taken with a flip camera, students will be required to produce, and then post a video clip presenting an oral summary of their story.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use “Where To…” as a tool to assess the quality and scope of unit learning experiences.

How will you cause students to reflect and rethink?  How will you guide them in rehearsing, revising, and refining their work?

 

 

Where are your students headed?  Where have they been?  How will you make sure the students know where they are going?

 

How will you help students to exhibit and self-evaluate their growing skills, knowledge, and understanding throughout the unit?

 

 

How will you hook students at the beginning of the unit?

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?

 

 

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?

How will you organize and sequence the learning activities to optimize the engagement and achievement of ALL students?
