OBJECTIVES WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2014

Teachers will:

Unwrap Second Six Weeks for all content areas.

Unwrap Third Six Weeks Turn in Lesson Plans not in Binder

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT… So many

standards, so little time!!!!

What heck do I

unwrap???????

IDENTIFYING THE STANDARDS THAT MATTER THE MOST

The ones the students need for success according to following criteria:

What they need to know and be able to do in this school year, next year, and so on

What they need to learn in the way of life skills (Process Standards)

What they need to know and be able to do on all high-stakes district and state assessments. (Readiness Standards)

POWER STANDARDS PROCESS

1. Begin with YAG 2nd Six Weeks units and compare it to LEAD 4Ward Snapshot

2. Identify your Reading and Supporting Standards.

POWER STANDARDS PROCESS

2. Compare READINESS AND SUPPORTING STANDARDS in district curriculum, with your unit CBA Assessments.

Look at the standards that identified. Out of those standards…..

Which ones are CRITICAL? What they need to know and be able to do in this

school year, next year, and so on…(Continues to be assessed in upper grades)

What they need to learn in the way of life skills

What they need to know and be able to do on all high-stakes district and state assessments.

ONCE YOU HAVE IDENTIFIED A CRITICAL STANDARD

You can either

Check to see if you have previously unwrapped it, then you do not need to unwrap again.

UNWRAP that Standard.

Materials for this activity: 8th grade Science TEKS, “Unwrapping” Exemplar Template

“Unwrapping” Exemplar Template

8.7 The student knows the effects resulting from cyclical movements of the Sun, Earth, and Moon.

A.)Model and illustrate how the tilted Earth rotates on its axis, causing day and night, and revolves around the Sun causing changes in seasons.

B.)demonstrate and predict the sequence of events in the lunar cycle.

C.) relate the position of the Moon and Sun to their effect on ocean tides.

What are some impacts of objects in space on one another?

What are some results of the gravitational attraction between the Sun and the Earth and between the Moon and the Earth?

STEP 5: PRODUCT POSSIBILITIES

Product possibilities Opportunities for students to demonstrate

their knowledge and skills in an authentic way
