(they normally are given a week to complete.)  My assessments are IB type assessments with a creative twist.  They used FLIPGRID to make a promotional video about a cultural "route" of their choice based on their own research after completing a Paper 2 reading on the same topic.  Their paper 1 allowed them to creatively express their knowledge of content from our travel/tourism unit by picking one of 5 text type options and tasks.]]> 2020-12-02 23:58:50 UTC https://padlet.com/vsutherin/ydbi53mgwrpsh5i9/wish/982103110 vcielewich2 https://padlet.com/vsutherin/ydbi53mgwrpsh5i9/wish/982106933 3) I have a "notes & vocabulary" section where I post applicable content that they need (vocabulary, grammar points, rubrics, etc).  Every class period has time for collaborative learning opportunities, pair-partner work, small group, whole group.  Additionally, students speak every class (since that is our IA).  I also post in the stream what the next class will look like...how they can prepare, what we will cover and what vocabulary they should be familiar with.  ]]> 2020-12-03 00:01:20 UTC https://padlet.com/vsutherin/ydbi53mgwrpsh5i9/wish/982106933 gcampion1 https://padlet.com/vsutherin/ydbi53mgwrpsh5i9/wish/982404348 I am using Asynchronous time to teach skills needed for their IA.  ]]> 2020-12-03 02:52:52 UTC https://padlet.com/vsutherin/ydbi53mgwrpsh5i9/wish/982404348 gcampion1 https://padlet.com/vsutherin/ydbi53mgwrpsh5i9/wish/982409412 I am compensating for lost instructional time by using the asynchronous time to teach the skills they need for the IA.  It is a big struggle.  I am giving homework.  It is mostly the asynchronous lesson and then classwork.  They are not doing all of it.  I am accepting everything late.  Assessments have been started during class and then finished outside except for the last one which was completely during class.  This has been very difficult because we still have 2 papers as usual and there are no multiple choice sections.]]> 2020-12-03 02:56:21 UTC https://padlet.com/vsutherin/ydbi53mgwrpsh5i9/wish/982409412 gcampion1 https://padlet.com/vsutherin/ydbi53mgwrpsh5i9/wish/982411645 We did a mock IA.  (about 40% did not turn it in)  We have been doing lots of skills during asynchronous time.  ]]> 2020-12-03 02:57:39 UTC https://padlet.com/vsutherin/ydbi53mgwrpsh5i9/wish/982411645 strentmann https://padlet.com/vsutherin/ydbi53mgwrpsh5i9/wish/982568899 Recently, asynchronous work has varied between IB 1 and IB 2 students. In IB 2, it is often an assignment related to the an individual component of their IA that aligns with the calendar of due dates I have provided. For IB 1 students, the asynchronous assignment supports the weekly in-class material as either an extension or additional practice when necessary. The assignments are given the first class day of the week and are due the first class day of the following week. ]]> 2020-12-03 04:57:17 UTC https://padlet.com/vsutherin/ydbi53mgwrpsh5i9/wish/982568899 strentmann https://padlet.com/vsutherin/ydbi53mgwrpsh5i9/wish/982575691 Because class time consists of covering an extensive amount of material, students do often have homework in the form of practice problems in addition to the IA expectations. Deadlines may not always be met, but I have allowed students to consider due dates somewhat flexible, and for the most part, they are all doing their best to maintain a reasonable level of progress. Assessments are given during class, but they do have access to the resources (notes, work, etc.) in Google Classroom to use.

I have also provided a wealth of IA resources in Google Classroom (IB updates, science databases, videos, samples, checklists, etc.) to guide them as they navigate in adjusting their previous ideas involving a lab setting to an at-home/database/simulation version of the IA. We have gone through all details of the marking rubric, looked at sample IAs and marks, analyzed each of the five criteria required, and also involved Ms. Boyd-Miller for research guidance. We discuss the IA a little during each class to check in, and this week, I have started meeting with students individually in flex "appointments" to nail down research questions.]]> 2020-12-03 05:15:06 UTC https://padlet.com/vsutherin/ydbi53mgwrpsh5i9/wish/982592972 https://padlet.com/vsutherin/ydbi53mgwrpsh5i9/wish/983487083 zhang: Recently, I use the authentic videos to improve students language skills.

I give time during class to work on Internal Assessments. Students can bounce ideas off of me and show me check-ins as a classwork grade. We use peer review as a means of keeping everyone on track for completion. Students also have journals to document their progress and learning.
