4. The Teaching Task It looks like you have all decided on questions, content, and writing choices. Are your texts (or your plans for students to research and choose texts) in place? Do you have other questions on the teaching tasks? Ohio HSTW 12/5/134

5. The Work to Finish (Agenda for Today) 1. Define skills students need to complete the teaching task and succeed in later work. 1. Put skills in order that makes sense for teaching. 2. Create mini-task instruction for each skill: product, scoring guide, instructional strategies, and pacing 1. Use the right spaces to show your mini-tasks Ohio HSTW 12/5/13 5

6. 1. Define Skills Here, the idea is to identify the lasting abilities you are trying to help students develop and keep long-term. One test: is your definition a single phrase beginning with “ability to…”? Another test: does your definition make sense if you add “alone in a dorm room four years from now.” Ohio HSTW 12/5/136

7. 1. Define Skills Which ones best state lasting abilities (that a student can use alone in a dorm room four years later)? 1. Ability to summarize the main points of a text. 2. Identify the main points of Elizabeth Warren’s article on mortgage rates. 3. Ability to include evidence supporting claim. 4. Complete the APPARTS organizer and submit it by end of class. 5. Ability to read the three short stories. Take notes. Select most important passage. Ohio HSTW 12/5/137

9. 2. Put skills in an order that makes sense for teaching Ohio HSTW 12/5/139 To move skills, go to the skills tab, mouse over the skill you want to move, and see the three buttons appear beside it. Then use the button with the arrows to pull skills up and down into the order you want.
