ELA 9A & 9B
Today the students silent read, and then we watched a video and discussed Essential Questions.
The students then had time to work on planning a presentation, which will be presented on Thursday, January 26. Below is the planning sheet (see Miss Riddell for a copy if you were absent):
MAKING A PLAN
- Essential Question: Ask a question that describes the need for your
project. What are you trying to
discover with your project and why? This question should not be easily
googled to find the answer.
Simple
Question: What is cancer?
Essential
Question: "What plan could you develop
that would reduce your likelihood of developing cancer?"
More examples:
• Why is the concept of cloning human
beings controversial? • What invention of the 20th Century has had the greatest impact?
•
Why was _________ the greatest home run hitter in baseball history?
• Which credit card is best for me?
•
What plan could I develop to reduce the impact of zebra mussels on the Great
Lakes ecosystem?
• What plan could I use to prepare for a 5K
run?
- Aims: Aims describe the overall changes and benefits that
you want to achieve.
- Outcomes: Outcomes lay out the specific differences that
you want to make to yourself, the school, the community, the world. What
skills will you learn?
- Outputs: Outputs describe the activities, services, and final
product that your project will deliver.
- Inputs: Inputs describe what you need to deliver your
project. This may include a budget if you need to purchase supplies.
- Monitoring and Evaluation: Monitoring and evaluation describes what
information you are going to collect throughout the project, how you will
collect the information, how often you will collect/reflect on the
information, and how you will evaluate the information to decide whether
or not the project was a success.
