Lesson 2

2.1 Essential Question:

Put in writing the question that will engage the students

What are uses of learning about Quadrilaterals?

2.2 Grouping Strategy:

Describe the criteria that will be used to form students team and how this maps to the goals of the project.

Team will comprise groups of 5 students of mixed gender, and mixed ability and skills. One of the goals is to promote teamwork in mixed ability groups so that higher ability students get opportunities for peer instruction, and lower ability students benefit from the more advanced collaboration that will arise from this.

2.3 Learning Environment:

Describe the learning environment for the project including any classroom adaptation that will be required.

A group working area in the classroom will be set aside with tables and chairs to allow more effective interaction among team members. A classroom wall near the project area will be set aside to post paper materials collected during research. Computer labs will be used for the majority of the online work. Research notes will be recorded in computers/blogs. Some collaboration between students will take place through email/blog/whats’app.

2.4Assessment Approach:

Describe the approach for:

2.41 Authentic Assessment:

Authentic tasks such as Collecting examples of application of Quadrilaterals. Prepare a plan for a city.

2.42 Formative Assessment:

Regular feedback will be provided as the students work on internet and library research, surveys, diet sheets, and presentation designs.

2.43 Summative Assessment:

Assessment will be conducted on Team portfolios in blogs/emails PowerPoint presentation on a city plan/web design

2.44 Rubrics:

Rubrics will be used to assess: Surveys City plan Final presentations Blog
