3c: ARCS Table ARCS Motivational Strategies Plan Project Goal Statement: Learners will demonstrate their ability

to identify parts of the microscope and their functions, as well as, set up, use, and clean up a microscope safely and correctly. ATTENTION A.1 Perceptual Arousal Instructor will show clips from microscopes used in movies, such as Outbreakidentifying diseases and viruses. Instructor will also show videos and photos of cells and other specimens seen under microscopes. A2. Inquiry Arousal Instructor will have students write a notebook entry. List 5 things you would like to see using a microscope and why? Instructor will also give students opportunities to use microscopes and look at various slides. A3. Variability Instructor will present information in various ways including: videos with audio (microscope careers and Outbreak clips). images (various objects/organisms viewed with a microscope). written information (parts and functions; procedure to use microscope; procedure checklist). hands on use with the microscopes

RELEVANCE R1. Goal orientation Instructor will use differentiated instruction to present information (including those listed in A3). Instructor will review pre-assessments to understand learners needs. R2. Motive matching Instructor will provide students opportunities to use the microscope and develop proficiency and responsibility with the equipment. R3. Familiarity Instructor will use KWL chart to identify prior knowledge and student interest. Provide students opportunities to view their own specimens such as their hair. Discussion: people in their lives that may use microscopes in their careers. Also, discuss other careers that may utilize microscopes.

CONFIDENCE C1. Learning requirements Instructor will model appropriate technique when using a microscope. C2. Success opportunities Instructor will provide ongoing opportunities to practice using microscopes and provide positive feedback and constructive criticism. Offer extra practice when necessary. C3. Personal control Instructor will work with students to write objectives for the lesson and allow reflection on meeting the objectives. Give students rubric for practical exam so they know what they will be tested on. Allow students to practice and quiz each other using partners. SATISFACTION S1. Natural consequences Instructor will inform learners of future lessons where microscope will be used and the necessity to feel confident in their ability to use a microscope. S2. Positive consequences Instructor will allow students time to review with partners: parts and functions, practical exam practice with rubric. S3. Equity Provide positive appreciations and feedback. Allow students plenty of practice to prepare for summative assessment. Provide formative assessment to allow learner to grow. Review objectives with students and reflect on meeting the objectives.
