Lesson+Plan

**//__Stage One: Desired Result__//** **__Mastery Objective(s__):** ** Students will apply reading strategies, test taking strategies and other skills learned throughout the school year on Algebra Readiness Diagnostic Strand Tests (ARDT), demonstrating mastery by receiving 80-100% in each strand from 3rd through 7th grade. **

 **__Essential Question (s)__:** What computation tools are best suited to which circumstances?  What reading strategies are best suited to which circumstances? What test-taking skills are best suited to which circumstances?

**//__Stage Two: Assessment Evidence__//** **__Assessment Evidence:__**
 * Students will take the ARDT in September 2010. (pre-assessment)
 * Students will have demonstrated mastery by receiving 80-100% on each strand test beginning at their area of focus. As a result of receiving 80% or higher, they will be allowed to move their game piece up the ladder of success. (formative assessment)
 * Students who do not receive 80% and above will receive further instruction in that area and are required to complete a 10 question practice quiz on http://education.jlab.org/ before they are allowed to re-test. (formative assessment)
 * Students will self-evaluate/reflect on their progress verbally using http://ed.voicethread.com/ (formative assessment)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Students will reflect upon the test taking strategies they intend to use during the SOL exam by creating a digital poster on http://www.glogster.com/ <span style="color: #ff9d00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">(formative assessment).
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">At the end of the Prep Program, students will re-take the 30 question ARDT test and analyze their growth and how it relates to their potential performance on the SOL exam. <span style="color: #00ff17; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">(summative assessment)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Students will take the SOL exam on May 25, 2011. <span style="color: #00ff17; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">(summative assessment)
