Stage 3
Learning Plan
W Where are your students headed?
• The teacher will introduce the unit by explaining to the students
the big ideas. We will be learning about some ways that you can
access and analyze information and use technology to displayknowledge and share information. This could be done in any
subject, but for this unit we will focus on matter and the physical
and chemical properties of matter. We will learn how to usePhoto Story 3 to share information.
Why?• Using technology to communicate and share information is a
part of every day life. This is a great way to contribute to thelearning community. Learning about matter helps me to
understand what makes up the world and how these things
change.
What is required of them?• Students will be responsible for two authentic performance
tasks during this unit. One will be a drawing of their topic (ie
physical change). Students will use information gathered duringtheir research to create a drawing of their topic that includes textto explain their image where necessary. In addition to the
drawing, students will write one paragraph giving an overview
of their topic. A second performance task will be to create astory of their topic from the perspective of a teacher trying to
teach this lesson. This story will be created using Photo Story 3.
The drawing of their topic will be used in this story.
• No prior understanding of Photo Story 3 is required.
• Students will complete a KWL chart at the beginning of the
unit.
K – Identifies what they know or think they know. This helps theteacher by letting her know where the students are in the learning
process and also reveals some possible misconceptions.
W – Identifies what the students want to learn about the topic.This is helpful to know what their interests are.
L – The key learning is recorded as the unit unfolds.
8/9/2019 UbDliteracyweakness
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ubdliteracyweakness 17/25
HHow will the students be hooked and held in this unit?
Students will be hooked by viewing an entertaining video that explains
matter and chemical and physical change.
Student attention will be held by engaging them in authentic learning
through the research process knowing that they will be creating a video
themselves.
Students will be working in groups to create an end product.
Students will be creating a photo story that they will take pride in because they will be sharing their project with their peers.
Reflect - The class will be given the opportunity to add any newinformation to the KWL chart.
EWhat activities, instruction, and guidance will be provided to
enable and equip students to explore and experience the
important ideas in this unit?
The following learning activities and guided instructions will equipstudents for their Performance Task.
Students will complete the research worksheets individually by going toselected websites that are included on the following wiki:
http://physicalchemicalchange.pbworks.com/
Students will be assigned to groups and assigned a topic:

• Matter, Elements and Atoms
• Molecules and Compounds
• Mixtures and Solutions
• Physical Properties
• States of Matter
• Physical Change• Chemical Properties
• Chemical Change
Students will create a drawing of their topic and write a paragraph that
gives an overview of their assigned topic.
Students will storyboard their topic that will be used to create a story
using Photo Story 3. They will use their research worksheets to includefactual information about their topic. Photos will be provided by the
teacher (stored in a folder on a public server).
Students will be guided through the steps to create a photo story using
Photo Story 3. All students will create the same sample story following
the teacher’s instructions to become familiar with the software. Inaddition, each student will have a handout to follow as they create their
practice story. The teacher will check for understanding and skills for
this task. Students who are proficient in the skills needed will be seatednext to students who might need help as they begin to create their photo
story on their assigned topic.
PhotoStory Handout Instructions
Students will be able to access a Photo Story 3 tutorial to review any
steps that they may miss during the teacher lead instructions.
http://www.screencast.com/users/dottiebarrow
R What activities, products and performances will be designed
to provide students with the opportunity to reflect, rethink,
and revise?• Students will be responsible for two authentic performance tasks
during this unit. Both will be completed while working in groups
8/9/2019 UbDliteracyweakness
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ubdliteracyweakness 19/25
of three. One will be a drawing and paragraph describing their
assigned topic. This drawing will be created with the purpose of using in a story that you will create to inform your classmates
about the one part of this physical science unit. Students will be
given a rubric and instructions on the requirements for the
performance task. Students will be able to ask questions and willreceive teacher feedback as they create their drawing.
• The second authentic performance task will be to create a story
using Photo Story 3. The story will be created with the purpose
of sharing information with their classmates matter and the properties of matter. The drawing will be used in the photo story.
• Students will be given rubrics and instructions on the
requirements for each performance task. Students will be able toask questions and will receive teacher feedback as they create
their drawings and photo story.
• Reflect - The class will be given the opportunity to add any new
information to the KWL chart.
8/9/2019 UbDliteracyweakness
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ubdliteracyweakness 20/25
E What self-assessments and self-evaluations will students
participate in to allow for reflection and transfer of learning?
• Students will be required to reflect on their Drawing and Photo
Story Performance Task. Part of the scoring rubric requiresstudents to address this topic.
• Drawing of assigned topic – the teacher will lead a discussion onhow analyzing written information to draw and label a picture
has or has not given students a better understanding of their
topic.
• Photo Story Reflection – students will write a reflective
paragraph explaining how completing research process,answering questions on a worksheet, and creating an informative
photo story on their topic has or has not helped them to better
understand matter.
Questions for the teacher to use in the classroom discussion and as a
prompt for the paragraph as students reflect on the learning:
1. How has this assignment influenced your understanding of
accessing and analyzing information?
2. Did you like working in groups for this project? Why?
3. Did you enjoy sharing your project with your classmates? Why?
4. In what ways did you gain a better understanding of matter and
the properties of matter?
T How will instruction and activities be tailored to provide for the various learning needs, styles, knowledge and interests of
students?
Because students learn in different ways, variety of activities will be
designed to meet the needs, styles, knowledge and interests of each
individual.
