This Remote Learning Plan was created by Sara Wellman-High Horse in collaboration with Eileen Barks and Caryn Ziettlow as part of the 2020 ESU-NDE Remote Learning Plan Project. Educators worked with coaches to create Remote Learning Plans as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.The attached Remote Learning Plan is designed for Grade 9-12 English students. Though this unit takes several weeks to complete, for this particular lesson, which is the beginning phases of the project, students will select 6 different genres (they will eventually write) on a central topic of their choice; research and provide evidence/information to support analysis, reflection and creativity; and collect, synthesize, and organize information using a graphic organizer or symbols to assess how/where to best use in project.(Product description). This Remote Learning Plan addresses the following NDE Standard: LA 12.2.1.a; LA 12.2.2; 12.2.1.c; LA 12.2.2.b)It is expected that this Remote Learning Plan will take students 3-5 days to complete.Here is the direct link to the Google Doc: Multigenre Resarch Project: Beginning Phase

Students become novice lexicographers as they explore recent new entries to the dictionary, learn the process of writing entries for the Oxford English Dictionary, and write a new entry themselves.

Chapeau! is a first-year college text. Although it may appear, at first glance, to move very fast and introduce a large amount of material early, the vocabulary and grammatical structures that we expect students to control actively by the end of the year are limited in accord with our notion of a reasonable application of the ACTFL proficiency guidelines. As a result, while some instructors may be surprised at such things as the absence of the possessive pronoun, no insistence on the use of optional subjunctives, and no active treatment of the relative dont, others may be disturbed by what we still include in a first-year text. What we do expect students to acquire (which is quantitatively less than what we present in the text for them to know about), we believe they will acquire well, providing a sound basis for further study (formal or informal) and permitting us to say to them, both during and at the end of the course, "Chapeau!"

The ADDIE model is the generic process traditionally used by instructional designers and training developers. The five phases—Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation—represent a dynamic, flexible guideline for building effective training and performance support tools. While perhaps the most common design model, there are a number of weaknesses to the ADDIE model which have led to a number of spin-offs or variations.ANALYSISDESIGNDEVELOPMENTIMPLEMENTATIONEVALUATION

This resource will help students prepare to read Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird.
