1. Monday Andy Hamilton 7 th grade World History Week of February 11, 2013

2. Assessment CFU and Closure Check for 80% mastery of content; re-teach if necessary Class work and homework Graded based on completion and accuracy. Each assignment accounts as 10% of qtr. Grade. Quizzes and Tests Will be graded on percent correct. Quizzes count as 40% of the qtr. Grade and tests count as 50% of the qtr. Grade.

3. Assessment and Future Instruction Results from students’ class work, quizzes, and tests will be used to determine future instruction. Mastery of the topic by 80% or more of the students will result in instruction moving to a new topic. Mastery by less than 80% of the students will result in further instruction of the material using additional graphic organizers to manipulate the content.

4. Grouping Students are grouped together as shoulder partners. Every 3 to 4 weeks partners are reassigned randomly through pulling cards. Partners remain together for 3 to 4 weeks unless separated due to behavior. A student who is separated from his/her partner will work alone until the next reassignment at which time the student will be eligible for a partner. In the event of an “odd man out” situation, the extra student will work alone, substitute when a student is absent, or work with a group as assigned by the teacher. In quizzing/testing situations, students will work individually.

5. Differentiation A variety of methods are incorporated to accommodate the needs of individual learner’s throughout lessons such as: Discussion (whole group, partners, and teams) Visuals (graphic organizers, charts, pictures, videos, etc.) Note taking Text features Hands on activities Informational text strategies Early finisher work IEP/504 plans
