Group One

Part A. Individually… Take the first objective. “Understand the structure and function of roots, stems, and leaves. Google “Mager behavioral objective” Choose one site. Figure out the four parts. Make note of them.

Then, Part B. As a group… Forge a common understanding of each of the four parts of a behavioral objective Mager style. Re-write the objective so it addresses one or both of the standards (Knows the structure and function…) (Knows about diversity and unity that…) A couple of versions would be fine if you are having difficulty settling on one version.

Group Two Use the chart paper as a kind of storyboard. Adapt the charted lesson as you see fit but do your writing on the chart paper. Turn the undifferentiated lesson into a differentiated lesson. Add a good hook to start the lesson and a whole class closure at the end. Identify three or four activities that could be used in a class to help a mixed group of children (learning style, interest, performance levels) create a product that shows they know something about one or both of the standards. Could at least one of the activities employ Flickr? Please? Identify an assessment you know will show how well they have met the objective for the lesson. Rough out an assessment rubric that lays out three levels of performance across three criteria of accomplishment for one of the activities. If you want to design a more generic version that could be used for all your activities, be my guest.
