Preferences for Expression You are about to be given an assignment On the note card rank from highest (1)
to lowest (4) your preferred expression Write Draw Act Build
Strength Based Groups
Your actual group will consist of people who share your most preferred style Those who most want to write Those who most want to draw Those who most want to act Those who most want to build
The Assignment
States of matter Big idea: Matter can change
from one physical state to another and not change its properties (chemical make up)
Essential question: What is a physical change?
Learning activity 1.Write a poem that tells the story of or explains the process
of a melting ice cube. Include information about the three states of matter.
2.Build something that tells the story or explains the process of a melting ice cube. Include information about the three states of matter.
Learning activity 3. Perform a skit or make the appropriate background
music or rhythm that tells the story of or explains the process of a melting ice cube. Include information about the three states of matter.
4. Draw a three-frame storyboard that tells the story or explains the process of a melting ice cube. Include information about the three states of matter.
Forcing the standards:Remedial Groups
In a few minutes you will form groups to complete an assignment as follows: Those who least want to write Those who least want to draw Those who least want to act Those who least want to build
Emotional check-in
How do you feel? Are you excited about the assignment or
worried about how you’ll express it? Or…do you care at all? Imagine being a child for whom reading and
writing is a constant struggle…
In what ways can my teaching be strength based?What kinds of choices do I offer my students?How often?
DISCOVERY LEARNING
MESSING ABOUT ASKING QUESTIONS FORMING HYPOTHESES TESTING HYPOTHESES DRAWING CONCLUSIONS
Playing around with 7-up and raisins Take a glass of 7-up, and half a dozen
raisins. Play.
What do you observe? Ask 5 questions that start with I wonder about… or I wonder what would happen if…
My Plan Question: What do I want to know?
My hypothesis…
How will I conduct my experiment (materials and steps)
