Good Morning Everyone! This week we will be introducing the Performance Task for this unit. Students will be given plenty of class time in order to complete the Performance Task, but may still have to finish up a few things for homework. I know that students are very busy with other assessments for other classes, so I’m hoping they will use their class time wisely to minimize the amount of homework they have.
Lesson 1 – Performance Task introduction. Students will be given time to start working on their research for this P.T. Students can also work on taking good notes.
Lesson 2 – Students will have a mini-lesson on creating a bibliography that includes the necessary elements: MLA format, alphabetized, source and photo information. The rest of the time, students can continue working on collecting information for their P.T.
Lesson 3 – Students will have a mini-lesson about the importance of words using a word ladder. They will then use the rest of the class time to work on their research and note-taking.
