=Stage 2 Determine Acceptable Evidence.=

Role: You are a Scientific Researcher. You will be an expert on life cycles that we study. Audience:Your teacher, your classmates and your parents Situation:You are a Scientific researcher and will use your findings to create a project depicting the changes your assigned living thing goes through. You will help others understand life cycles. Product/Presentation:You will create a mobile which includes all of the stages of your living thing. You will write two facts for each change during that stage. Standards (criteria from both rubrics):Your mobile needs to include correct spelling of the words you learned from your research as well as our First grade word list. Illustrations of each stage of your living thing and the changes it goes through. At least two facts listed on each stage. The mobile needs to be in correct order from the first stage to the last. || •tradebooks of lifechanges for reading groups •Research journal entries responses to teacher questions teacher observations || •Self-check lists •Journal share presentation checklist || =Assessment Task Blue Print=
 * Performance Task (Summary in G.R.A.S.P.S. form): **(T)** ||
 * Goal:Your goal is to share your knowledge of life changes of living things.

 * •Student presentations

//**What understandings/goals will be assessed through this task?**// **(G)** by creating a project mobile, which meets the criteria, and pre- senting it to their audience. || •D. Science and Technology-Students will understand that all living things change over time. ||
 * Understanding || Goal (MLR) ||
 * •Students will apply their understanding of changes in life

What criteria are implied in the standard(s) understanding(s) regardless of the task specifics? What qualities must student work demonstrate to signify that standards were met? things change over time. || •Life changes do not take place just in human species but also animals, insects, plants etc. ||

 * •The big ideas presented in this unit are that all living

//**Through what authentic performance task will students demonstrate understandings?**// They will use KidPIx technology to create their drawings of the various stages. They will use Photobooth to take pictures of the stages and then import them into Keynote to show them that these two programs are compatible. ||
 * //**Task Description:**// **(T)** ||
 * Students will create a mobile and act out the various stages of the living thing that they were assigned.

//**What student products/performances will provide evidence of desired understandings?**// of the stages. || •Slideshow and play ||
 * Type II Product || Type of Presentation ||
 * •Their completed mobile and their actual physical presentation

//**By what criteria will student products/performances be evaluated?**// •Correct use of World Wide Web • Criteria met Journal responses •Correct responses on compare/contrast chart •Correct spelling on the two facts part of mobile. • || •Accurate stages on the slideshow and in chronological order •Correct depiction of their changes in the various stages of their living thing. •Attentive and well behaved audience member of other's presen- tations • • • ||
