My Action Plan is related to Social Studies and the use of collaboration and critical thinking. I plan to evaluate the resources I am currently using in Social Studies and adjust or adapt them to move in the direction of collaboration, critical thinking, and technology.
This is an activity that involves technology, collaboration and critical thinking.

Directions for this age old strategy game that gets your students thinking creatively and critically:

With your friend(s) take turns making line segments to connect the dots. When you can complete a square, put your initial inside it. The winner is the person with the most initialed squares.

My plan for my 21st century competency dealt with critical thinking and collaboration in
my Physical Education 9 class. The assignment I had students participate in was in designing a
game that involved offensive and defensive strategies. The students also had to brainstorm
game objectives, physical skills being used, teamwork skill, game rules, penalties, and scoring
system. Before we began developing our games, we looked at the evolution of sport. For
instance, we looked at how volleyball and badminton scoring systems have changes in the past
20 years. We also looked at sports like hockey and football and the rule changes from the early
days of the sport to what we see today. Finally, students developed a game and taught it to the
class. They thought about what worked well and what did not and adjusted their games
according to their findings.

Outcomes/Goal- The goal of this on-going project was for students to go through the inquiry process with a topic they were passionate about. With excitement and motivation established with the selection of the topic, students were asked to develop a guiding question(s) that directed their research. Once information was gathered, then the students self-selected a method they wished to use to showcase their answers to their inquiry question. Presentations were made to their classmates, their parents during the tri-conference interviews with the option to other classes as well.

Put the word inferring on the board, have they ever heard of it? Explain it is something we do
all the time, it just has a special name. – figuring out what something is when it isn’t totally
explained in the story
- Using clues to make good guesses
How do we do this? - look at the pictures, what do you see
- How do the characters act
- What do the characters say
- What other information can you get from the text
Have students practice with facial expressions – what does the audience infer? What evidence
leads them to this?

The way this assignment is formatted, it is meant to be outside measuring inaccessibly tall. The students already had a very good understanding of the primary trig ratios and how to use them, as they had already taken Foundations and Pre-Calculus 10. We did a quick review of sine, cosine and tangent. If I had a group of students who were unfamiliar with the ratios, I would take a day or two to introduce the ratios. A good understanding of the trig ratios is necessary for them to be able to do a good job with this assignment.

Since we were using apps on the iPad, I took a good 20-30 minutes to explain the logistics behind how to hold the iPad, etc. in order to get accurate measurements with the Tape Measure app and the Clinometer app.
