Step A:
Assessment
as Learning
Lesson Note: This lesson starts with a review of Lesson 5, “Canadian Women
Contributors, Part 1.” 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: We have been working hard both collaboratively in your expert
groups as well as independently on your rapid research on your women
contributors and the impact that they have had on themselves, others and
society. Take some time now to review your findings with your expert group.
Review and Share: Provide some time for students to review their rapid
research and share findings with the other students who did their rapid
research on the same Canadian woman contributor.
Step B:
Assessment
for Learning
ORAL DISCUSSION AND DOCUMENTATION OF THINKING
Teacher Talk: Now that you have information about your women contributors
and have considered how their triumphs and challenges have impacted
their lives, the lives of others and society, let’s consider if there is evidence
of Perseverance in their lives.
Perseverance Graphic Organizer: We are going to use a graphic organizer
to document our thinking. Let’s use what we know about Angela James as a
model for what we can do for the woman you are focused on.
