Lesson Description: Students will learn about facts/opinions and claims/reasoning. Students will complete two nearpods and a prewriting assignment. Students will read a sample essay and will collaborate to think critically about facts and opinions. Students will also complete a 5-7 sentence opinion writing piece on a topic of their choice.Thumbnail citation: "A-kid-drawing-or-writing" by dotmatchbox at flickr is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0.

Second part to the C2 Superlesson for ROV's from Kim Stokes and Ben Wells, Siuslaw Elementary School.

Party Time: Standard 6.EE.8 Write an inequality of the form x > c or x < c to represent a constraint or condition in a real-world or mathematical problem.

This formative assessment exemplar was created by a team of Utah educators to be used as a resource in the classroom. It was reviewed for appropriateness by a Bias and Sensitivity/Special Education team and by state mathematics leaders. While no assessment is perfect, it is intended to be used as a formative tool that enables teachers to obtain evidence of student learning, identify assets and gaps in that learning, and adjust instruction for the two dimensions that are important for mathematical learning experiences (i.e., Standards for Mathematical Practice, Major Work of the Grade).

Patterns in Rational and Irrational Numbers: Standard 8.NS.1 Know that numbers that are not rational are called irrational. Understand informally that every number has a decimal expansion; for rational numbers show that the decimal expansion repeats eventually, and convert a decimal expansion which repeats eventually into a rational number.

This is a lesson plan designed to teach the phases of the moon to sixth grade students. They will use IPADS to create a presentation to show their undestanding.  They should be able to identify all the phases of the moon and their order.   (Picture taken by my son Max)

This lesson is a 5th grade science lesson that lasts for a 45-60 minute session. It uses digital storytelling as a format for students to share research regarding photosynthesis. It can be adapted to be taught synchronous or asynchronous, and both virtual or face-to-face.

This is a lesson plan to teach martial arts kicking. It includes a rubric that can be used for students to rate themselves on how well they are able to kick.

This is a rubric template created by the Utah Education Network. It is meant to guide educators through creating physical education assessment rubrics that contain all the necessary components for teacher and student success. Remix this template each time you create a PE rubric to share in eMedia. When you edit each section of the lesson plan template, delete the template description and add your own content. Add files and links to each section as needed. Remember to replace the preview image with an openly licensed image or screen capture that represents your lesson. After completing each lesson plan section included in this template, you will click "next" at the top of your screen. This is when you will replace this overview with your own brief description of your lesson. You will also be asked to finalize your lesson details (metadata), including connecting it to state curriculum standards. Please do not skip these details. These choices are what align your lesson to state standards and help others search for resources in eMedia. Thank you for contributing to eMedia!

This worksheet is designed to have students test their skills in the game of pickleball. They will test on different types of swings and serves. 

In this activity, students will choose a math topic that they have learned about in the year and plan and film a video about using that topic in a real life way. For example a student could choose fractions and make a video about using a recipe. Students will present their film as part of the assessment.
