Background
Information
for Teachers
Before Lesson
• Post Learning Goals and Success Criteria for this lesson.
• Have the Anecdotal Observation Template (BLM #2) ready on a
clipboard to use while students are working collaboratively.
• Preview the YouTube video “Journey to the Hall: The Story of Angela
James” to understand the issues that are shared and to prepare
meaningful critical thinking questions.
• Have an understanding of the difference between men’s and women’s
amateur hockey and the issues that surround it.
Step A:
Assessment
as Learning
Lesson Note: This lesson starts with a review of Lesson 2, “Who Are
People Who Have Shown Perseverance?” Please review that lesson to get
some background on and insights into the learning experiences that this
lesson will build upon.
ACTIVATING PRIOR KNOWLEDGE
Teacher Talk: The last couple of lessons, we have been talking about a
variety of character traits with a focus on Perseverance. Think to yourself
about what you understand about Perseverance based on our discussions
and learning yesterday. Once you have done that, share your ideas with
those in your table group. Be prepared to share your group’s thinking with
the class community.
Think-Pair-Share: Have students discuss their learning from yesterday’s
lesson focused on the impact of Perseverance on themselves, others, the
community and society. Once students have had enough time to discuss,
have one student from the group share a summary of the group’s thinking
with the class community.
Teacher Talk: Now I would like for you to think to yourself and then discuss
in your group what you know about the sport of hockey and any prominent
players that you are aware of. As you discuss, think about what you
previously discussed in your group and what we have shared as a class
and any connections that you can make.
