of
interest
within
the
topic
and
developed
insight
in
those
areas.
Your
task
is
now
to
engage
your
peers
in
thoughtful

Length
of
the
lesson:

(specific
real-life
examples
are
always
highly
powerful)
o Why
this
matters
to
learners
and
teachers
(again,
specific
examples
if
you
have
them).
Identify
your
Inquiry
Question,
your
essential
questions
and
identify
why

them.
Involve
students
in
their
own
exploration
of
the
topic,
using
active
learning
strategies
as

to
lecture.
Think
about
how
they
can
engage

Date
Time
Learning Objectives
Students
will:
Be
able
to
make
a
justified
argument
as
to
whether
or
not
standardized
testing
is
a
valid
measure
of
progress
in
schools.
Assessment
The
student
groups
are
expected
to
hand
in

Materials
Introduction
Time: 30sec
Survey
how
well
people
did
in
standardized
testing
and
how
it
affected
their
final
marks.
(E.g.
Who
here
remembers
doing
SATs
or
Diplomas?
Who
here
had
their
final
mark
change
drastically
(for
good
or
bad)
as
a
result
of
this
test?
Give
personal
example
on
how
I
got
90s
on
most
of
my
assignments
and
minor
tests
in
high
school,
but
60s
on
most
of
my
diplomas.
I
dont
truly
think
that
this
test
accurately
portrayed
my
knowledge
of
the
subjects.
