This activity allows students to connect stories and myths they read to actual objects they make by hand. Each product (canoe) varied based on the students’ interpretation of the instructions/pattern of canoe building. Supporting this, students viewed a Birch Bark harvest video.
Students between the ages of 12-16 are changing in every conceivable way. They are discovering who they are and what they value. This makes the years of early adolescence the ideal time to support students’ growing moral consciousness through units of study that challenge them to identify, discuss, and address significant societal issues. The resource attached includes an assignment about "All That I Am".
As a unit end project, students were given a menu of choices to select from. They had to complete two projects - one with respect to characterization in Romeo and Juliet, and the other with respect to themes. One of the creative project options was to complete a Thinglink. Thinglink involves uploading a picture and inserting text, image, video, or sound files into the photo. I provided a tutorial to students prior to beginning the assignment.
This resource was based off of the Focuses on Language section of the SK curriculum. It is intended to be an "at a glance" document for teaching grammar.
This document map is meant for students to use and interact with as they move through their ELA courses. It enables them to keep track of the outcomes as they meet them on their personalized journey through the courses.
This activity/assessment, in the “Our Shared Linguistic and Cultural Roots” uses the TED Ed “Mysteries of Vernacular” series as a model to determine the etymology of different words. Students view a number of videos to learn the etymology of various words; they also view to understand the text features and presentation style of the videos. Their task is to create their own “Mysteries of Vernacular” video about a word not already featured on the website.
This document map is meant for teachers to use and interact with as they support students through their ELA courses. It provides links to the course Curriculum at a Glance, Grammar Scope and Sequence, Outcome Based Rubrics, and 21CC Guidebooks.
