1 Implementing Innovative and Effective Assessment Strategies at the Secondary Level 4 Rules: 1. build confidence 2. academic threats may not work 3. avenues often determine success 4. foster positive relationships 1. Interactive unit plans A S C D - W A know reason demonstrate produce notes: date: AFL Using adjustable teaching methods and feedback in order to enhance the learning process Where are we going? Where am I at? How do I close the gap? 2. student choice on retesting 3. Grading the unconventional Sound Grading Practice: What you do with the numbers you collect and how you collect them grading homework using 0 reduced late marks 4. 0 INC w w w. m y r o n d u e c k. c o m Note to self: REDUCE STRESS!!!

2 HISTORY 12 NAME: PARIS PEACE CONFERENCE UNIT PLAN (VER. 2 SEPT 2007) Student-Friendly Learning Target Statements Knowledge Targets What I need to know! I know the definition of these terms and how they were factors affecting the Treaty of Versailles: imperialism neo-imperialism capitalism nationalism militarism self-determination communism I can identify the countries on a pre-1919 map of Europe and a post-1919 map of Europe I can identify major differences between the pre-1919 and post 1919 maps of Europe. land lost by Germany, Austria-Hungary & the Ottoman Empire newly formed countries of Europe I can explain the importance of these people at the Paris Peace Conference: Wilson, Clemenceau, Lloyd-George, Vittorio Orlando I can explain how the following terms applied to Germany in 1919: stab in the back theory Sudetenland self-determination reparations Blank Cheque Article 231 (War Guilt) Schlieffen Plan 14 Points Saar Polish Corridor Anschluss Rhineland diktat I can explain how the following terms applied to Italy in 1919: stab in the back theory Dalmatian Coast Italia Irredenta 14 Points South Tyrol I can list and describe Wilson s 14 Points. I can list the main conditions of the Treaty of Versailles: territorial losses military conditions reparations I can list which conditions of the Treaty of Versailles Germany considered to be unfair.

3 Reasoning Targets What I can do with what I know. I can evaluate to what extent Wilson s 14 Points are reflected in the Treaty of Versailles. I can evaluate to what extent France (and its leader Clemenceau) were satisfied with the Treaty of Versailles. I can evaluate the extent to which Lloyd George and the British Government were satisfied with the treaty of Versailles. I can evaluate the role that nationalism and imperialism played in the formation of the Treaty of Versailles. I can determine and or argue where self-determination was and was not applied to people after I can explain how the Treaty of Versailles may have led to increased nationalism in a number of different groups/nations. I can explain how the Mandate system under the League of Nations angered the Arab people of the Middle East. Skill Targets What I can demonstrate. Product Targets What I can make to show my learning. Depending on whom I represent at the Paris Peace Conference: I can apply the interests of either Britain, France, or the USA in a PPC group negotiation or I can argue for self-determination on behalf of a smaller delegation in a PPC group negotiation I can prepare a 2 minute speech to give to the delegates at the Paris Peace Conference (minorities only) I can prepare a 1-2 minute speech outlining how either Britain, France or the USA approach one of these key issues: war costs and reparations map of Europe and colonies future military strength considerations war guilt and prevention I can write a 1-2 page reflection on the PPC, incorporating the following topics: my overall impression of the experience elements I found frustrating and/or successful how it affected my understanding of the difficulties associated with war guilt, colonies, self-determination and the prevention of future wars.

4 Name: Date: Period: Ecology Unit Plan Basic Ecology 8.11A I can 1. define all of these terms and explain how they relate to ecosystems. abiotic, biotic, organism, population, biome, ecosystem, niche, carrying capacity, limiting factor, sustainability 2. list the factors of carrying capacity and explain how they affect populations in an ecosystem: water, air, food, habitat (space) 3. describe how organisms and populations compete and depend on abiotic and biotic factors. Interactions between Organisms 8.11A I can 1. define all of these terms and explain how they relate to organisms living together. interdependence, symbiosis, mutualism, commensalisms, parasitism, predation, competition, parasite, host, prey, predator 2. describe and compare different forms of symbiosis. mutualism, commensalism, parasitism, predation 3. evaluate the relationships within ecosystems including marine, freshwater, and terrestrial. The relationships are: producer/consumer predator/prey parasite/host Energy Flow 8.11B I can 1. define all of these terms and explain how they relate to the flow of energy. energy pyramid, carnivore, omnivore, herbivore, producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, decomposer, scavenger 2. construct an energy pyramid. I can draw and label each level. 3. explain the 10% rule using an energy pyramid. 4. construct an energy pyramid. I can draw and label each organism. I can show the flow of energy using arrows correctly. Skill Building 8.2D I can 1. interpret and analyze graphs, tables, and charts. 2. identify lab tools Notebook Page # Notebook Page # Notebook Page # Notebook Page # # of Test Questions # of Test Questions # of Test Questions # of Test Questions

5 Trigonometry Chapter Targets Trigonometry: the study of triangles and measurement. Knowledge Targets I can identify the opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse sides in a right triangle I can state the three primary trigonometric ratios I can identify the angle of elevation I can identify the angle of depression I know Pythagoras s theorem I can locate the smallest or largest angle given the measures of the sides I can locate the smallest or largest side given the measure of the angles Reasoning targets I can decide which trig ratio to use to solve for a given side or angle I can understand when it is appropriate to use the Sine Law I can understand when it is appropriate to use the Cosine Law Skill Targets I can label a triangle with appropriate letters for angles and sides I can determine a given side in a right triangle using trigonometry I can determine a given angle in a right triangle using trigonometry I can use the Sine Law to solve a triangle I can use the Cosine Law to solve a triangle I can solve problems when more than 1 triangle is needed Product Targets I can draw a picture using triangles given a word problem Assessment: 1. Identifying Opposite Adjacent and Hypotenuse Sides (F) 2. Recognizing Primary Trig Ratios (F) 3. Finding Sides and Angles of right Triangle (F) 4. Quiz (S) 5. Recognizing Angles of Elevation and Depression (F) 6. Homework Check of Trig involving more than one triangle (F) 7. Sine Law (F) 8. Cosine Law (F) 9. Test (S) F- formative (not for marks) S- summative (for marks) 1- needs extra help 2- getting it but needs practice 3- Got it!
