 * Please post ideas you had about rich tasks and using instructional technology to support learning here. Include information about:[[image:peelrichtasks/plan_jpg.jpg width="217" height="217" align="right"]] **

a) Critical Literacy skill identified by the Professional Learning Team

b) Success criteria you are hoping to see through observations, conversations and products related to the Rich Task.
 * Greatest Area of Need - ability to reflect on themselves and their experiences in light of historical/current events.
 * Making connections, reflect, ability to form their own opinion (and then voice it)


 * Better results on the Thinking portion of the final unit test.
 * Use of visual representation prior to a written response. i.e. a Collage on What Wealth Means to You - i.e. Prezi, Animoto
 * Create a board in the Pod - word wall style - personal reflections on stickies.

c) Your initial plans for a Rich Task

Create a scaffolded assignment that will lead students to richer, more in-depth reflection responses. The rich task includes creating a Prezi, a Podcast or other type of presentation. Podcast for the 20s/30s and the Prezi will be for the WWII unit.

d) As you plan forward, things you need to put in place so that you can develop the Rich Task?


 * Create a blog space to share ideas? Wiki can be used just with one class during a set period of time - that may be the ideal place to start. Learn about setting up a Wiki.
 * Learning how Prezi works. Podcasting.
 * Time booked on Tuesday April 24th to work on this with Joe. Afternoon will be moderated marking of reflection assignments that were given to each of the 3 classes.
