KUD

Students will KNOW: Movement of continental and oceanic crust. The plate tectonics and ages of rocks.

Students will UNDERSTAND THAT: The past and current movement of continental and oceanic crust. The theory of
plate tectonic and how they connect to rocks age.

Students will DO: evaluate evidence and explain

Assessment
How are you collecting evidence of student understanding?
How are you using that information to inform your instruction?
Summative & Formative Assessments, Performance Task(s) & Other Evidence i.e. Pre-assessments, Unit
Tests, Quizzes, Essays, Exit Cards, etc.

Pre-assessment: Question: what do you know about plate tectonics? (In three Sentence)

 Learning Activities: (Brief summary & description of how you will orchestrate instructional best practices during this
lesson to ensure student understanding i.e. Differentiated Instruction, Marzano, National Board Core Propositions etc.

Summary:
If I had an actual class, I would continue to ask questions throughout the video. I would do both verbal question and the
pole questions. This way I can know that everyone is participating. Based on the Kahoot game and the paper at the end,
I will be able to see what they have learned and what still need works. Overall the video went well, had the technology
issues with the PowerPoint loading and the Kahoot game but I was able to make it work.

• Finally explain their homework assignment. They have to write a paper on what they have learned today and how
it connects with last weeks lesson.

Lesson Closure(s):
• Student were to type in the chat and discuss any questions about the lesson.
• Student were able to ask questions throughout the lesson as well and are strongly encourage too.

Formative Assessment:
• The paper about what they had learned in class and ways to connect it to last weeks lesson. This teaches student
to use prior knowledge and connect it to what they are learning now.

Extended Learning (Homework)

• The formative is a homework assignment. I gave them 20 minutes in class to ask question and begin writing their
paper.

Lesson Accommodations (Special needs and gifted)

• As of right now I have a student that is may need to review the zoom. So I have recorded the zoom tp allow students
to re -watch.
