THE super 3 SKILLS

THE Super three #1 BEGINNING - PLAN What am I supposed to do? What will the result look like if I do a really good job? What do I need to find out about in order to do a good job? Students should be thinking…

Example of Step 1 You want something sweet and it’s a hot day, so you decide to make yourself a sundae. -What will you need? -Where will you get your supplies? -How do I make it? -What should it look like?

THE Super three #2 Middle - do In the middle, students complete various activities… Finding necessary sources Reading and/or viewing the information in the sources Putting it all together as a finished assignment

Example of Step 2 Time to “do it” -Find your ingredients -Get out your supplies -Put it all together Remember to make it look good and use fresh ingredients

THE Super three #3 End - review Before the assignment is finished and turned in, students should stop and think… Is this done? Did I do what I was supposed to do? Do I feel OK about this? Should I do something else before I turn it in?

Example of Step 3 Review it…before you eat it -Does it look nice? -Did I put everything on it? -Finally, does it taste good… Good enough to share?
