Sample – Lesson 2

2.1 Essential Question:
Put in writing the question that will engage the students
Are we what we eat?

2.2 Grouping Strategy:

Describe the criteria that will be used to form students team and how this maps to the goals of the project.

Team will comprise groups of 5 students of mixed gender, and mixed ability and skills. One of the goals is to promote teamwork in mixed ability groups so that higher ability students get opportunities for peer instruction, and lower ability students benefit from the more advanced collaboration that will arise from this.

2.3 Learning Environment:

Describe the learning environment for the project including any classroom adaptation that will be required.

A group working area in the classroom will be set aside with tables and chairs to allow more effective interaction among team members. A classroom wall near the project area will be set aside to post paper materials collected during research. Computer labs will be used for the majority of the online work. Research notes will be recorded in computers/blogs. Some collaboration between students will take place through email/blog/whats’app.

Describe the approach for:

2.41 Authentic Assessment:
