Your 4 Weeks To Go Need to Knows

  • I'm happy to see many of you have picked up your lesson pace after this week's progress report.
  • Download videos from the class announcements before they're replaced.
    • They include examples to use in your Discussions and completed proof tables from Checkpoints and Exams for you to actually use.
    • Change my words and numbers to make the examples your own. Everyone can do this.
    • I encourage copying and giving credit. Copying is learning. Crediting is integrity.
      • I don't recommend using classmates' post as help, instead of my insruction page and grading rubric. I've been teaching Geometry for over 15 years. Not so true for your classmates.

  • Check your email for weekly progress reports and a quick survey to know your feelings of class belonging and trust.
  • Very few parents have responded. Please complete the emailed survey.

Blog

Organize the plan around a topic or concept that you want to teach in a specific timeframe (usually short). It needs to make sense on its own and have the aim of helping students acquire the knowledge.

Plan and select the content and think about the strategies, processes, and skills you want to put into practice with your students to achieve the objectives you've set.

Divide your plan into stages or steps. We're suggesting the most common ones but you can expand on them and/or change their names.

Move from the simple to the more complicated. Learning should be gradual and progressive. Start from where students are and what they already know. Link the activities with a meaningful common thread. Each activity should be a rung on the ladder, allowing them to progress in their learning.

Set learning objectives or outcomes. What new skills or abilities will students have when they finish this unit?

Keep in mind from the beginning how you're going to evaluate this unit and what criteria you'll apply. And of course, remember to establish expectations and deliverables; what assignments do you want to set, and in what format do you want them? The activities that make up the unit plan should form a path towards a passing grade, which is why it's important to share from the get-go what you'll be expecting from students.

Encourage your students to resolve, investigate, reflect, and create. Allow them to improvise. Open the floor up to debate and let them express their opinions freely.

Avoid fireworks in class. Be practical. Everything you do should aim to facilitate learning. Make it motivating and awesome but always meaningful.

Contextualize learning materials and use real-world content. The unit plan should be able to answer the question "How will I use this knowledge in real life?".

Review before writing a Discussion Post

HOw to Follow instructions better

Ask for directions more often and ask specific questions.

Click and read the grading rubric. Know what is expected.

Use your learning style. Do you understand better pictures, words and definitions, or videos?

Clear your space of distractions.

See yourself looking for examples and writing that expected discussion post.

Talk to yourself through the post. Will it be easily read and understood?

Discussions are worth one and a half full letter grades - 15% of the grade.

StarsAndStripes are great 15 letters.

More than a fun fact about Geometry Live Sessions Attendance (as of 9/11)Average current progress grade all classmates: just below 60%Average grade who attended at least one time: Above 60%All lessons are designed for everyone of all skills to succeed !!!
