Big Eleven and Kill Creek Planning

1)  What are we going to do over the next week that contributes to our PLC learning topic?





We are working to collaboratively link the content of Ms. Hornberger's and Dr. Hotz's study of Kill Creek and Big Eleven Lake to Mr. Willard's English writing skill standards and Ms. Kircher's geography and history standards.  Continuing the work they did last year to now include both the global freshman and sophomores.

We will be taking the Math/Science material and observational data and use it as the subject for students writing. We will also be exploring the geographical landscape and the ways that land use have changed overtime.


2)  How does this contribute to student learning?





This affects student learning by allowing students to work with cross-curricular information and see the real world connection of their daily work, thus growing their critical thinking skills. We will also be integrating professionals in many fields to expose students to possible career paths.

 

3)  How will the impact of this week’s work be measured?
The impact of this weeks work will be measured as we complete our first multigrade, multidiscipline field trip in October. Specific rubrics and the like are still in a state of creation.
