Cntent What d I want the learners t knw and/r be able t d? This week learners will: demnstrate their learning frm the preceding unit n rcks and. N new cntent is intrduced in this culminating activity. Learning gals students will demnstrate: describe the difference between rcks and demnstrate hw the prperties (e.g., clur, lustre, streak, transparency, hardness) are used t identify describe hw igneus, sedimentary, and metamrphic rcks are made describe the characteristics f igneus, sedimentary, and metamrphic rcks 4. Assessment (cllect data) / Evaluatin (interpret data) (Recrding Devices (where applicable): anecdtal recrd, checklist, rating scale, rubric) Based n the applicatin, hw will I knw students have learned what I intended? Students will be assessed using the success criteria prvided n the individual task cards (attached) and recrding n the assignment rubric (attached). Students will wrk n their chsen task frm Mnday until Friday and hand-in their final prduct fr assessment n Friday at the end f class. 5. Learning Cntext A. The Learners (i) What prir experiences, knwledge and skills d the learners bring with them t this learning experience?

In class we have cvered all f the required cntent related t rcks and. Students have cmpleted each f the type f task in past assignments (presentatins, psters, etc). Students are familiar with wrk with all f the resurces necessary t cmplete any f the tasks (e.g., camera, laptps, art materials) (ii) Hw will I differentiate the instructin (cntent, prcess and/r prduct) t ensure the inclusin f all learners? (Must include where applicable accmmdatins and/r mdificatins fr learners identified as exceptinal.) Students will chse 1 f the 8 tasks t demnstrate their learning in this unit. All f the learning gals remain the same; hwever the prduct they create is student selected. The ptins are differentiated based n preferred learning mdality (visual, linguistic, artistic, kinesthetic). Accmmdatins are als made based n the individual learning exceptinalities f identified students. B. Learning Envirnment Students wrk in class fr each f the 5 perids. Students wrk independently at their desks. All resurces are rganized t be easily accessible. Rcks and Minerals resurce bks and anchr charts available thrughut the classrm. C.

Teaching/Learning Strategies INTRODUCTION Once students arrive in frm utside, they will prceed t their desks. The fllwing think-pair-share questin will be n the bard: Hw culd a chef demnstrate the frmatin f the three different types f rcks? Once the students have a mment t think independently, they will speak t their elbw partner t discuss their ideas, and finally the teacher will lead a classrm discussin. The teacher will then display this vide n the prjectr: Gelgy Kitchen: The 3 Types f Rcks: https://www.yutube.cm/watch?t=61&v=pg_jkjfba2a After the vide explain t the students that yu have put instructins fr a hme rck cking activity that they can d with their parents (fund here: http://lemnlimeadventures.cm/edible-rck-cycle-fr-kids/). Discuss hw we can shw ur learning in s many different ways (such as a cking lessn n rcks). Since we are finished ur Rcks and Minerals unit it is time t demnstrate ur learning, and fr this each student will chse hw they demnstrate their learning. The teacher will then shw the chice bard and read thrugh the varius chices, answering any questins frm Lessn Plan Template 2 Schulich Schl f Educatin Practice Teaching Handbk 2010-2011
students. MIDDLE: Once the students have chsen their task frm the chice bard, they can begin planning hw they will cmplete that task. They will write ut a list f steps and have it apprved by the teacher befre beginning their task. Then begins prject time. Prject-Time Rutines: Each day students will wrk n their individual prject at their desk, r ask the teacher fr apprval t wrk in a different lcatin (fr example, while filming a vide) Students requiring laptps will sign ut their laptps frm the cart and bring them t their desks Students using laptps are respnsible fr saving their wrk, turning ff the laptp and returning it t the cart Students requiring ther materials (i.e. paper, markers, play-dh) will be respnsible t pick up and then clean up all f the materials they used each class The Librarian has checked ut several rcks an bks and put them in the classrm during this prject time, students may refer t the resurces in class During prject time the teacher will be meeting with each student individually t assess prgress and help answer questins The teacher will keep a daily tracking lg f each students prgress t help them sty n task t achieve their gals The learning gals and success criteria fr all tasks will be psted n the bulletin bard fr student reference At the end f each class, students will spend 5 minutes cleaning up and then they will meet with their elbw buddy t share what they have accmplished that day CONCLUSION: Once all f the prjects are cmpleted, the class will have a share-fair. During this share fair, students wh are presenting will be able t present t the class. Others wh are nt presenting will display their wrk arund the class and will have an pprtunity t view each ther s wrk and ask questins. During the share-fair there will be a buffet f selected rck fds (ideas fund here: http://www.elementaryshenanigans.cm/2014/08/the-rck-buffetnew-unit.html) prvided by the teacher (with detailed cnsideratin given t allergies), with labels beside each fd t identify what the fd is and what it is representing.
