Engaging Students in the Focus of the KUD

Utilizing students to seek, understand, and communicate curriculum at the start of class

Page 8: Engaging Students in the KUD

• Good readers use a variety of skills and strategies to comprehend text.

• We communicate differently depending on the purpose and audience.

Students will UNDERSTAND that:

Page 9: Engaging Students in the KUD

• Create a way in which to engage your students in some aspect of the KUD you brought with you today (if you didn’t bring a KUD, create one first).

• The goal is to create something that utilizes the students to seek, understand and communicate the curriculum.

• “Play teacher” with the “students” at your table- verbalize your KUD activity with your tablemates as if they are the students in your class and give each other feedback.

Engaging Students in Respectful Tasks connected to the KUD

Utilizing students to seek, understand, and communicate curriculum during Respectful Tasks

Page 11: Engaging Students in the KUD

Douglass, Frederick. Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass an American Slave, Written by Himself (1845)• How did Douglass learn how to read when

running errands?• In what ways does Douglass’ life differ from the

white boys’ lives? • Douglass is describing events from the past.

These “boys” are now adult men, so why would he avoid giving their names?

• Write a probing (interpretive and evaluative) question with regard to this text.

Preassessment

Page 12: Engaging Students in the KUD

• Determine a central idea of a text and analyze its development over the course of the text, including its relationship to supporting ideas; provide an objective summary of the text. (RI.8-2.)

• Analyze how a text makes connections among and distinctions between individuals, ideas, or events (RI.8-3.)

• Employ the full range of research-based comprehension strategies, including making connections, questioning,, making inferences, and summarizing. (IA.1.)

• Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research. (W.8.9.)

• Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grade 8 topics, texts, and issues, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly (SL.8.1.)

As you read and talk:

We, the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution of the United States of America.

Preamble to the Constitution

• Create a set of respectful tasks connected to your KUD that could follow the warm-up you’ve designed- if you have preassessment data, use that to guide you as well.

• The goal is to create respectful tasks that utilizes the students to seek, understand and communicate the curriculum.

• Strategy ideas are located on the Wikispace.• “Play teacher” with the “students” at your table-

verbalize your Respectful Tasks with your tablemates as if they are the students in your class and give each other feedback.

• Create a formative assessment check connected to your KUD to measure the impact of your instruction and respectful tasks.

• The goal is to create a formative assessment that utilizes the students to seek, understand and communicate the curriculum.

• It should also connect to your preassessment • “Play teacher” with the “students” at your table-

verbalize your FA with your tablemates as if they are the students in your class and give each other feedback.
