Facilitation Note: Provide time for learners to share their ideas with their
group members and to collaboratively decide which person they will place in
the centre of the placemat. Guide them, when making their decision, to focus
on ensuring their selection has several of the qualities of a contributor that
were documented in the Anchor Chart in Step A.
Teacher Talk: We are now going to share the person that your group has
selected for the centre of the placemat. Be prepared to give a reason why
this particular person was selected by your group.
Facilitation Note: Have each group share and highlight the reasons for their
selection by referring back to the Anchor Chart that was developed in Step A.
Step C:

of Learning
CONSOLIDATING THINKING TO BUILD NEW KNOWLEDGE
Teacher Talk: You will now have the opportunity to focus your thinking on the
person that your group selected. With your group, find information about your
person to show evidence of the Qualities of a Contributor to Society that we
came up with. You will have a graphic organizer to help you organize your
thinking.
Facilitation Notes: You may want to use one of the people selected by
a group as a starting point to help the learners understand what type of
evidence they need to focus on and what type of information they should look
for. Use the Contributor to Society Graphic Organizer to frame your sample
responses and show where the information should be included.
Students work collaboratively to complete the Contributor to Society Graphic
Organizer. Remind them that this is not a full research project but rather an
opportunity to quickly find and verify information they already know about the
person so they can share it.
If necessary, show learners how to effectively and safely find information on
the Internet.
The students may need additional time to complete this task.
CONSOLIDATING THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE
Have the Traffic Light Assessment Poster posted where the students can
view it. Distribute red, yellow and green stickers to each group.
