Learning Goals and Scales

Grade 1 Hypothesis & Knowledge Interaction

Picture

I need help finding good books. Describe what you think a book needs for you to decide that a book is 'good'.

Let's make some guesses (predictions) about what a book needs to be defined as a good book. I'll write your predictions on the white board.

After we pair up, let's review the group rules.

Let's investigate (look into) some information about what others believe is needed for a book to be called 'good'. Discuss the following with your partner:
    1. What do the stars mean?
    2. What does the number inside the circle mean?
    3. The colors inside the circle can be  (green, yellow or red). What do the different colors mean?

 
After we form teams of 4, let's review the discussion tips.

On a scale from 0 to 5, what things on the list below would you want to have a high score for a book? Which would you want to have a low score?
    1. Learning     
    2. Positive (good) Meaning
    3. Violence and scariness

Discuss and compare what others believe makes a book 'good' with the guesses you made earlier. Describe what has changed in how you decide what a good book is.

Grade 2 Hypothesis & Knowledge Interaction

I need help finding good TV shows. Describe what you think a TV show needs for you to decide that a show 'good'?

Let's make some guesses (predictions) about what a TV show needs to be defined as a good show. I'll write your predictions on the white board.

After we pair up, let's review the group rules.

Let's investigate (explore) some information about what others believe is needed for a TV show to be called 'good'. Discuss the following with your partner:
    1. Number of stars in the rating needed for this to be good.
    2. The lowest number in the circle for this to be good for a kindergartener.
    3. What color (green, yellow or red) indicates this to be good for a kindergartener.

After we form teams of 4, let's review the discussion tips.

On a scale from 0 to 5, what score would this need (high or low) for it to be a good TV show for a kindergartener?
    1. Learning     
    2. Positive (good) Meaning
    3. Violence and scariness

   
    Discuss and compare what others believe makes a good TV show with the predictions you made earlier. Describe what has changed in how you decide what a good TV show is.

Word Family Sort
