• Standard: ND Health 9.1.1: Analyze the impact of family, peers, culture, media, technology, and other factors on health behaviors.

• Learning Objective: Students will be able to analyze how different factors like family, culture, and media influence their health choices and behaviors.

• Standard: ND Music 4.MU

  .2: Demonstrate understanding of the structure and context of varied musical works.

• Learning Objective: Students will be able to listen to a piece of classical music and identify the main themes, instruments, and dynamics used by the composer.

• Standard: ND PE K.1.1: Perform locomotor skills in different pathways, levels, directions, and speeds.

• Learning Objective: Students will be able to demonstrate basic locomotor movements (such as walking, hopping, and skipping) through various pathways (straight, curved, zigzag) and at different speeds.

• Standard: ND PE 3.2.2: Demonstrate proper techniques for throwing, catching, kicking, and striking with objects.

• Learning Objective: Students will be able to correctly throw and catch a ball with a partner, using appropriate hand positioning and body mechanics.

• Standard: ND PE HS.5.3: Apply rules and strategies in complex versions of physical activities and game settings.

• Learning Objective: Students will be able to apply advanced basketball strategies during a full-court game, demonstrating an understanding of team roles, positioning, and rule enforcement.

• Standard: ND ELA 6.RI.1: Cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.

• Learning Objective: Students will be able to read an informational text and cite at least two pieces of textual evidence to support their analysis of the main idea and key details.

• Standard: ND Social Studies 6.1.1: Identify and compare historical developments across regions during the same time period.

• Learning Objective: Students will be able to compare the development of ancient civilizations in Mesopotamia and Egypt, identifying at least three similarities and differences in their political, social, and economic structures.

  The second one is the kindergarten PE class.  Line the students around the key (the free throw lane).  They can SHoW what they know.  Instruct them to Skip on the longer line, hop across the free throw line, and walk down the side of the lane.  This will show you if they have a grasp on the concepts of Skipping, Hopping, and Walking.

  The third one is the 9th grade Health.  You could have the students draw a mind map with health at the center and the words family, culture and media surrounding it.  Students can add 2 or 3 health and 2or 3 behavior choices to each of the words: family, culture and media. 

Formative assessments I could use for PE (Grade 2): 3 benefits of physical activity and how exercise contributes to a healthy lifestyle, would be asking an open-ended question, like, "What are 3 ways exercise could improve your mental health?" One-minute essay on 3 benefits of exercise and healthy lifestyle choices. Doodle Notes - Doodle 3 ways benefits of physical activity and healthy lifestyle choices.

Formative assessments for Health (Grade 9): Think-Pair-Share how family, culture, and media influence your health choices and behaviors. Concept Map ways family, culture, and media influence your health choices and behaviors.

Formative assessments for Mathematics (Grade 5): Solve 3: Solve the 3 2-digit multiplication problems on the whiteboard on sticky notes. Spot the Error: Review 3 2-digit multiplication problems, mark and explain the errors (if any).

Nonlinguistic Representations

Nonlinguistic representations are creating and explaining visual images of new information through mental pictures, smells, tastes, and kinesthetics. Some examples are graphic organizers, sketches, pictographs, concept maps, flowcharts, dramatizations, computerized simulations, use of manipulatives or models, or engaging students through physical movement. Five points of nonlinguistic representations are: 1. It can be many forms depending on how it fits the concept and time. 2. Must identify crucial information to be effective. 3. Students should explain their representation. 4. Limit to crucial content. Allow enough time for students to make, explain, and defend representations. 5. Revise when necessary. Marzano's research of 129 action research projects where teachers showed representations to 1 class but not another, showed a 17 percentile gain in student achievement in the class that used nonlinguistic representations.
