In small groups, students were to create a piece of art out of
recycled materials. Students were given creative freedom to design, plan,
and build their projects.

Congratulations! You have just graduated from a Master’s program in Genetic Counseling, one of the
most prestigious degree in Canada! You have been hired to work as part of a team of 4 genetic
counselors. As part of a new and rapidly changing field of work, you know that this will naturally come
with a bit of research. Your task is to research the area of your specialty.

The students will direct their own learning that incorporates collaboration, critical thinking, and technology to research, gather facts, and prepare a presentation to their peers on a country of their choice.

For each grade level, a suggested set of I can statements has also been developed. Below is an example from Grade 1:

Grade One
Social and Ethical Use of Digital Technologies
 I can take turns when I use a digital technology (e.g. computer, tablet, etc.).
 I can show care when using digital technology.
Research and Inquiry
 I can use question starter words (e.g. 5 Ws) to guide my online searches.
 I can read visuals from digital technologies to discover information (e.g. SmartBoard images, images from the internet).
 I can begin to use multi-media sources to locate information (e.g. use audio from online story or CD).

Observe, illustrate, and analyze living organisms within local
ecosystems as part of interconnected food webs, populations, and
communities
Analyze how ecosystems change in response to natural and human
influences, and propose actions to reduce the impact of human behavior on a
specific ecosystem

The Resiliency Thought Bubbles project provides an opportunity for students to
demonstrate their knowledge of Microsoft Word. The assignment requires students to
use critical thinking and creativity in writing their own original idea that demonstrates
both Fixed Mindset and Resiliency. Students were shown a series of videos that
demonstrate the meaning of Resiliency then challenged to use critical thinking when
they wrote their own examples. Finally, I selected one student example from each of my
six PAA Multimedia classes and created a bulletin board display; the display includes a
Brain illustration that was a collaborative and creative endeavor between a grade ten
student and a grade twelve student.

This awesome science video explores what the Earth's resources are and how we use them.

In our unit on the human body, I incorporated a hands on lesson and the use of technology. The students were given different materials such as straws, balloons and large pop bottles and were asked to create a model of the respiratory system. All of the models turned out great! They were then given a sheet with different QR codes (see appendix). Each group member was in charge of exploring one or two of the QR codes and then report back to the group. Once they were finished I asked them to explain what they had learned. Our final part of this lesson was to do a reflection and post it on their blogs.

This one page poster is a great Revised Bloom's Taxonomy visual for students and teachers.

This awesome science video leads students through the process they could use to engineer the solution to a problem. There is a challenge to design a robot to help them solve the problem in the video.

To work collaboratively in small groups and as a whole class, to compose a list of leveled questions to ask Austin.
Students will use Bloom’s Taxonomy Flip Chart for Critical Thinking to assist in leveling questions.
-Come up with 3 questions that you could ask, based on what we have studied in our rocks and minerals unit.
-Write down the level of question you believe it is.
-In groups of 3, use your flip charts to discuss each of your questions from Step 1.
-You must agree on what level you are going classify each question as.
-After leveling questions, take your sheets to the charts posted at the front of the room. Put a checkmark under the level of question that you designated each as. (9 checkmarks/group)
