Form Teams

Think back when . . .

You were a freshman taking English 9 studying Romeo & Juliet. Use the Google Docs. spreadsheet to complete the information found in the unit.

In your team brainstorm & record answers to these questions.

1. What are the student objectives for the unit?

2. What are the major activities for the unit?

3. What assessments will you use throughout the unit?

4. What technologies, if any, will you use during the unit?

In your team…

Using the information you have from your team’s responses to the unit that you remembered studying when you were a student, find and record the CEI (START) and the 21st Century Technology Skills.

Each team will share examples of what they found.

Managing the documents…

Hard copies: CEI and Technology Literacy

OR

One person on the team has the CEI open on a laptop, a second person has the Technology Literacy Skills open on a lap top, and the third person has the Google docs spreadsheet open.

Romeo & Juliet #2

Repeat the process used for R & J #1

1. What are the student objectives for the unit? (Things You Need – Standards)

2. What are the major activities for the unit?(Instructional Procedures – stop at Differentiated Instruction)

3. What assessments will you use throughout the unit? (Things You Need – Assessments)

4. What technologies, if any, will you use during the unit? (Instructional Procedures – stop at Differentiated Instruction & Resources)

In teams…

Each team will share examples of what they found.

As one team shares, the other teams need to challenge or support the findings.

Given additional information teams have the option of making changes on the Google docs to reflect their new understanding.

In your team…

Study each team’s information listed for assessments (1) & (2) & determine a word or phrase that describes the essence of the assessment practices and enter it in the Google docs.

What pattern(s) emerge?
