ObjectivesParticipants will…
•Have the opportunity to participate in an Engineering Design Challenge.•Participate in a Literacy activity related to the Engineering Design Challenge.•Examine six characteristics of STEM lessons and consider how they can be used to create hands on, engaging lessons which incorporate STEM and Literacy Florida Standards.•Discuss how to align content Standards with current Pacing Guide placement.

Six Characteristics of a Great STEM Lesson
STEM Lessons:1) focus on real-world issue and problems2) are guided by the engineering design process3) immerse students in hands-on inquiry and open-
ended exploration4) involve students in productive teamwork5) apply rigorous math and science content your students
are learning6) allow for multiple right answers

How do we become literate? Two processes -•Learning –
•The deliberate process of gaining knowledge through explanation and analysis. •Of value in developing the metacognitive skills of planning, selecting and critiquing our communications.
•Acquisition –•Knowledge gained (sometimes unconsciously) through observation, exposure to models, imitation and trial-and-error of meaningful, functional activities.•Requires exposing students to a variety of authentic opportunities, purposes, contexts and audiences.
(James Paul Gee, 2008)
Deep understanding requires both kinds of learning.

Deliberate Literacy or Acquired Literacy?
What Would Deliberate literacy Instruction With This Standard Look Like?
LAFS.2.RI.1.2 Describe the connection between a series of
historical events, scientific ideas or concepts, or steps in technical procedures in a text.
Cognitive Complexity: Level 3: Strategic Thinking & Complex Reasoning
What About With Inquiry and Acquisition? How is this Standard enhanced by the inclusion of STEM activities?

Knowledge
•The facts •A body of coherent facts •Verifiable claims •Right or wrong •I know something to be true •I respond on cue with what I know
Understanding
•The meaning of the facts •The theory that provides coherence and meaning to those facts •Fallible, in-process theories •A matter of degree or sophistication •I understand why it is, what makes it knowledge •I judge when to and when not to use what I know
Knowledge versus Understanding

Wrap Up•Please complete this Exit Slip:
- One thing that I am leaving excited about today is: - One thing that I am ready to implement before the
end of the year is:- How can you integrate the Arts into this?
