The Next Chapter Unit Design Elements Summative Task One MYP summative task at the end of the unit (what it’s not…) How is the task related to the statement of inquiry? How is your ATL skill demonstrated? Which Inquiry Questions do students answer through the task? Assesses DMPS standards (usually at the highest level) and at least one MYP Criteria The Next Chapter Unit Design Elements

The Next Chapter Unit Design Elements Summative Task (cont.) Use GRASPS format to insure all elements of an Authentic Task are present The Next Chapter Unit Design Elements

The Next Chapter Unit Design Elements Next Steps With planning partners – (comfortable location) Revisit unit 1 (priority for today and tomorrow) Revisions using relevant elements of Next Chapter Design Summative Task using GRASPS format (write on poster paper) Return to Student Center by 12:30pm prepared to update group on Next Chapter changes you’ve made and to post your GRASPS task.
