Fall+2015+Team+1

You will use the PBI process to develop your project.
====Be sure to design toward your rubrics for your 5 minute video and 8-10 page paper.====

**I. PBI Planning Draft of your INITIAL PBI plans. Collaboratively with your partner, complete the following questions by September 29. Write your answers here on the wikispace under each question below. If you don't know some of the answers yet, share what you can at this point. ** >> What are the most beneficial job embedded literacy skills our students will need to be successful upon entering the work force after graduation? >> Using apps to support understanding of written directions, spoken directions, etiquette, and unspoken expectations (i.e. wash your hands) >> High School Students >> Is our question too broad? Will it apply to our learners overseas? >> Yes HI LAUREN AND SUSAN! I HAVE CHECKED WITH VIVIAN FROM BEIJING ROYAL SCHOOL TO SEE IF SHE CAN COLLABORATE WITH YOU. I'LL LET YOU KNOW ASAP. VERY EXCITING THAT YOU WANT TO GO GLOBAL ON THIS PROJECT!!!! HILLER, 9/22/2015 I haven't heard back from Vivian yet. I'm going to try another teacher. Hiller 9/24/2015 Thank you for connecting us. This is way out of our box, but a perfect opportunity for us to explore this as a tool for our students. ~Susan 9/27/2015 **Let me know if you hear back from Suzana (suzana_g@bialik.ort.org.il) from Israel. I hope that works out! I think your question is good and will work with an international group. This is exciting. Hiller - 9/30/2015 Yes, Suzana did contact us! She is on Fall break until the tomorrow, so we will be able to communicate more after that. ~Susan 10/5/15 Yea! I hope it works. How exciting. Hiller 10.6.2015
 * **What is your compelling question? **
 * ** What initial ideas do you have for your PBI? **
 * **What is your target age group? **
 * **Think about TPACK. **
 * **What content will you focus on?** Litereracy related job skills (speaking, writing, reading, listening)
 * **What pedagogical approaches will you use? **Metacognitive theory
 * **What technologies will you use?** Internet
 * **What specific Common Core or Essential Standards learning objectives will your PBI address?** Literacy standards
 * **What is your timeline for implementing and completing your PBI? **Our timeline for gathering data is going to be October 12th through November 6th. We will do four weeks of instruction, while gathering data, and then take time the week of November 9th to develop our written report for the PBI assignment.
 * **What materials and resources do you need to be successful? **Internet, computers, job coach
 * **What part of the PBI do you find or anticipate will be most difficult to plan?** Collaborating with an overseas teacher, as well as finding common ground with our OCS students if their group is equivalent to our Future Ready.
 * <span style="color: #454545; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">**How do you plan to prepare to overcome these anticipated difficulties?** Connect with our teacher as soon as possible to begin our collaboration and refine our project to meet the needs of all learners involved.

I just emailed Suzana back about our compelling question and timeline. Susan I CC'ed you! **Laura** 10/10/15
===II. Design space for paper planning===

Outline:
Introduction (overview) Paragraph 1: compelling question What are the most beneficial job embedded literacy skills our students will need to be successful upon entering the work force after graduation? Why did we choose this as our compelling question? What do we hope to find out after exploring this question? Paragraph 2:gathering and analyze sources (lesson rationale/ blooms/ TPACK/metacognitive theory) Paragraph 3: creatively synthesize Paragraph: 4: critically evaluate & revise Paragraph: 5:share, publish, act Paragraph: 6: international /partner collaboration Paragraph: 7: challenges and successes Paragraph: 8: conclusion (reflect on outcomes of lesson for student/teacher/new findings)
 * Tricider and Google Doc
 * Bloom's: Remembering, Understanding, Applying, Analyzing
 * discussion of the lesson plan (actual lesson plan will be attached at the end of the report)
 * the function of Tricider was to be able to vote and pose arguments with one another's opnions, but this was a struggle for us, and it is something that we hope to pursue in a later lesson with students.
 * write down self evaluation and then note that there will be more information once we get feedback from peers and professional after the 11/19 submission

Lesson Plan: 1) three mini lessons- 20 minutes each - introduce work place literacy - have them do the tricider app question altogether on laptops and then discuss guiding questions with a partner - regroup for concluding thoughts for lesson wrap up thttp://www.tricider.com/brainstorming/35T4JrOf0Kt

2nd lesson: who remembers what we talked about the other day? lets take a survey with some more of your thoughts. lets have everyone share one thought from taking the survey. wrap up with one thought that everyone had while taking the survey. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1XDEnWNVG_n9uRGj1JvLxFtQoWyZNCUKnPcYfv9AXedE/viewform?c=0&w=1

3rd lesson: - who has ever heard of the country Israel? what can you tell me about it? lets look at a map and locate the country. They speak Arabic and Hebrew. http://www.goisrael.com/Tourism_Eng/Tourist%20Information/Discover%20Israel/Pages/Languages.aspx - We spoke with a teacher over there who had her high school English students answer the same questions on the survey as you! Here are the results: What do you notice? What similarities do you see? What differences do you see?

===III. Design space for video documentary development===

We will use Animoto to upload pictures of our student survey and analyzed data. We will upload an image of each stage of the PBI process, so that we can clearly define the steps that we have taken to create the project. Each image will show what each stage "looks" like, so that it is broken down and easily understood. We will use voice overs and screen shots to depict what we have created.

-Will animoto let us do a 5 minute video? embed image of PBI Process in between put an arrow to show what we are focusing on. embed 3 picture of students engaged in lesson embed images of tricider and google doc embed images of both high schools embed pictures of us :-)

- Does the video have to have us in it? Or can it suffice with just our voices?
