Reading Standard

Math Standards

Modeling with Mathematics: Graphs

Goal: Creatiton of graph, understanding audience, collection of data and analysis of data.

How can we plan and ice cream party in the classroom? What would we need to do? Allowed the students create vision and plan. Teacher direction as project continues.

Choose to put onto a graph for the interest level of students selection of ice cream. As they kinestically make the graph we discuss the findings. They work into explanation of next steps based on the information. Continue activity through surveys.

Reading: standards are integrated through project based learning

Example: students were learning about different biomes

They had to choose their topic find four resources

Had to annotate their text, determine questions that their power point would answer

Create presentations to inform classmates on topic. Had to have so many high tech aspect in huger project- videos, new spare articles

Present the information in a proper manner

Math

Use rubrics with assessments

Encourage self exploration. Students come to learn the topic.

Teach the skills needed from the chapters.

provide students with math project. real world application: build a dream bedroom, stay in budget and create blue prints and

My classroom reflects the Literacy Competencies: 1. Research and Evidence Based. In my classroom for example, Before, during, after reading a novel Restavek by Jean Robert Cadet, my students brainstorm on discussion topics regarding child slavery. They statr thinking about anything they know about the term from personal experiences, hear says, malpractice from other countries, current events, and culturral background. That is the time to introduce vocabulary words like physical abuse, emotional disturbance, sexual abuse, law vs. rights, concerns, issues, child labor, agencies, reports, case studies, flee vs. fly, pshychology and children, parental rights vs. government rights, foster care, legal guardian, parents, extended family, single family, minority, underserved countries and their lack of bills concerning children. Afterwards, I conduct explicit instructions by stated the goal for today's or this week's lesson : I am teaching students how to text cite evidence from a literay novel by using the book called Restavek and strategies like close reading and I will know they mastered the skill when they produced a 2 page response independently with 80% accuracy.

During a tree day lessons, students are engaged in whole group activities, where I will model the 6 strategies of close reading for about 15 minutes using an excerpt from chapter 1 Restavek. Then, taking turns, students will practice summarizing important informant read utilizing own words; identifying syntaxes that present challenges or confusion; highlighting figurative languages they found such as simile, metaphor, hyperbole, personnification, upon, and explain how their usage affect meeanings; looking at vocabulary the author uses and explained how these words allign with the tone/mood; explaining how this information can relate to the real world... using all the information to compose a 5 paragraph response making sure you cite evidence from the text to support your claims.

BIG PROJECT: Research - students will choose a country of choice to present information on child slavery. They are free to use PowerPoint, Talking Book, Movie Maker, DigitaL Story Telling, Prezi, Microsoft Word, or Posters. Depending on the selection, they use receive handouts and guidelines for each. Yes, they are working on speaking, listenning, writing, reading, reference, research, social studies,

Assessments: discussion via Edmodo, classroom discussions, journal writing, higher order thinking skills emphasized throught the lesson, observation during heterogenous grouping, differentiated instruction by content/product/process, then final written product submission

Reflection: I will look at the strategies that worked and those that need modifications. Students who did not master the skills cite evidence from the text will have other scenarios within DI within content and reinforcement throuigh classroom projects, bell ringer, and just a small informal conversation.

Common Core

National Standards that all students should be taught at each grade level.

I like the fact that it is a national standard that if all states are involved when transient student s are relocated they will come in with a knowledge of the same curriculum content.

My role is impacted by devising ways to getting my students to buy into complex learning. Sometimes taking learning to the next level is sometimes difficult.

Ccss they help unify the curriculum and hold students to a more rigorous standard.

I use ccss as a starting point and a checklist to make sure the students have received the proper information.

As a teacher they are another tool to help drive curriculum.

I like them better than past standards as they are more rigorous and he same from state to state.

The challenge is that there is a misconception that ccss is behind the testing aspect

Many feel that the common core standards have come with the assessment aspect. We have yet to really determine what the assessment will be as they are learning through the process.
