16. (Take out the “Deconstructing the Benchmarks—HCPS III” worksheet)STEP1. Identify relevant benchmarks • Start with the Benchmark Maps -examine shared content/concepts/skills • Which are “natural bed-fellows?” -easily lend themselves to a shared task

17. STEP 1. (cont.) Identify relevant benchmarks • Start with the Benchmark Maps -examine shared content/concepts/skills • Which are “natural bed-fellows?” -easily lend themselves to a shared task

18. Content -the “stuff” you need to learn Literary elements (characters, setting, plot,) Synonyms Antonyms Idioms Imagery people Events Places Ideas Skills -the thing you do: Organize information Describe Explain Summarize Edit Locate information Deconstructing the benchmarks

19. Content John Adams Ben Franklin Thomas Paine King George III Patrick Henry Thomas Jefferson Bunker Hill (Breeds Hill) Lexington and Concord Saratoga Boston Massacre Boston Tea Party Stamp Act Alliances (French, Native Americans) Movement of people e.g. gender-(men off to war), political (loyalists to England and other safe-havens, leadership to Europe to gather support, etc.) Skills Research -framing and answering questions -note-taking (including essential vs. incidental) -organizing the information -finding appropriate resources (e.g., websites, periodicals, human, etc.) -citing sources -oral communication skills e.g. eye contact, facial expressions, and gestures. Deconstructing the benchmarks

20. STEP 2. Determine acceptable evidence and criteria • A. What task can be created that will allow students to demonstrate proficiency of ALL identified benchmarks?

21. STEP 2. Determine acceptable evidence and criteriaTask: We have been talking about the ideas of “conflict”. As you know, war is a conflict between nations and/or peoples . The revolutionary war was such a conflict. This war has special meaning for all Americans because it was the outcome of this war was the birth of a new nation—the United States. As a member of your CL group, you will use a variety of print and on-line resources to research the major events of the war, including key battles, key alliances, and the roles played by key figures. You will then describe these findings to the class in an oral presentation. Though you may divide up the presentation, each is responsible to hand in an individual research report on the major events (including key battles, key alliances, and the roles played by key figures) and how this war caused the movement of people. You must be sure to write the bibliographical entries for your sources.
