Assessment

Formative:### Bell-Ringer assess students previous learning and provides ongoing opportunity for re-teach.

Summative:###

“What’s in a Name?” Adapted from Mascots and Nicknames, Sporting Geography

Unit: United States and Canada, Topic: About

www.sportinggeography.com

Objective/Learning Target 

Students will identify, research, and explain how team mascots of U.S. or Canada regions relate to their geographic location and support economic growth.

Materials Needed- 

· Computer or Device (1 per student or per partnership)

· What’s in a Name? Handout and Rubric (1 per student)

· Presentation Evaluation (1 per student)

· Presentation materials of choosing

o Prezi/ 

o Storyboard (storyboard that)

o Google Presentation

Teaching Strategy- 

1. Assign students into groups of 2-3.

2. Allow groups to choose a NFL, NBA, NHL, NCAA, MLS, etc. team to research. (To ensure that groups are not choosing the same teams, have groups draw numbers for selection order. Once a team is chosen, it is eliminated from the choices.)

3. Handout “What’s in a Name?” Rubric and assignment and make sure students understand the directions.

a. Day 1 (daily grade): Students will choose team, set up bibme.org account for proper citation, begin research and decide on presentation type

b. Day 2 (daily grade): Complete Research and have teacher check progress. Homework if not completed in class on this day.

c. Day 3 (major grade): Storyboard Presentations

4. During presentations, students will complete an evaluation of each team and their economic, social, political and cultural contributions to society.

Modification: Complete research on the rubric and present orally or turn in for a grade without presenting depending on level of student.  Extension: What about your school? Most schools have a nickname or school mascot. In addition school names often have a connection to the region. What is your school name and relationship to the region? What is your school mascot? Is it related to the history or geography of your region? If not, is there a different mascot that would better fit your school relating to the history/geography of the region?

Using SAMR in Yearbook

I had originally been scheduled to teach Multimedia this year but ended up only doing Yearbook.  I modified the plan that we used in our summer class in order to complete the project with my Yearbook students!

Lesson Title: Student Yearbook Template

Project (5 days)

Objective/Learning Target: TLW use a

student created storyboard to format the

flow of the 2014-2015 yearbook.

Essential Quality Questioning:

How does yours differ from a peer?

How is yours the same as a peer?

What would facilitate our goal as a

yearbook group?

Academic Vocabulary:

Storyboard

Template

Flow

Bloom's Level:

Understand

Comprehend

Analyze

Learning Activities: Students will use

storyboards that they have created to

formulate the flow of the new

yearbook. Students have looked at

examples to decide on a template tat best

shows how to display the required pages

within our theme. Students will use two

different technology components to share

their template online with peers, parents

and students.

Assessment/Homework: Storyboard due

today at the beginning of the period for

daily grade. Two projects (both worth

50%) due on Friday for a major grade.
