Stage 2 - Assessment Evidence By determining what the students need to know, you can easily plan out the performance tasks and key criteria on which the students will be evaluated. • Each essential question is linked to a performance task. • A performance task is what you want the students to be able to do to show understanding of the concepts taught. • Key criteria is what your students need to know in order to be able to complete those performance tasks.

  8. Stage 3 - Learning Plan • With the performance tasks in mind, the teacher designs activities and lesson geared to each essential question. • Ideally, each unit should be well integrated with Art, Music, Drama, Spanish and PE.
