=Stage 2 Determine Acceptable Evidence.=

Role: You are a well-known geologist that goes by Dr. (make your name). Audience: Your clients are people who attend the Natural History Museum in London. Situation: The context you find yourself in is that you have been selected as a top geologist assigned to present at an exhibit of the Natural History Museum. Product/Presentation: You will create a trifold, an oral presentation, and a Garage Band media clip of an interview. Standards (criteria from both rubrics): Presentation: preparedness, content, posture and eye contact, speaks clearly, attire, and volume. Trifold and Garage Band: attractiveness, organization, sources, rough draft, character, and sound quality. || • Create a map using Comic life that shows the various stages of plate movement. • Make a poster and then create a Comic life that explains the slight altering of Water, Nitrogen, and Carbon Cycles due to plate movement. • Model and recognize the different types of boundary zones. Product: Comic Life of boundary zones. • Develop a magazine article and post it to a blog for critique by peers. Product: A magazine article on blog • Develop a newscast and incorporate it onto IMovie. Product: An IMovie newscast || • Students will be provided with a checklist so that their accuracy of the continents, spelling, peer revisions, and teacher's feedback is completed. • Students will check their final product(s) with a given rubric. • Take their boundary zone Comic Life product and self-assess themselves using a given rubric before handing into teacher • With the last ten minutes of class, students will be asked to blog in their accounts and occasionally reflect on the class assignments. Other days students will be able to choose a topic of their choice or a possible given question. • Students will apply their IMovie newscast production to a given rubric to see if all requirements are met. • A preassessment will be given at the beginning of the unit through the unit test to see what the students already know in the content area. || =Assessment Task Blue Print=

 * You and a possible colleague are to take the role as a well-known geologist that goes by the name of Dr. (make a name).The Natural History Museum in London has selected you as the top geologist assigned to present at an exhibit there. It is your duty to not let them down by selecting a location on a boundary zone, research and present your findings.

The date that the museum has given you will be the day that the exhibit is displayed to all of the museum goers and the staff. The geological work that you bring forward will be judged and critiqued by the Natural History Museum's owner. Give them your best shot! ||
