begin to sort out their thought orally. The teacher will then right down three
roles that students will decide upon assuming including: pencil writer, tracer,
and drawer. In addition, the teacher will tell students that they share the
responsibility of creating steps and sentences to put down on the sheet of
poster paper.
4. The teacher will then allow students to work on their poster, and
frequently revisit the group to monitor progress and ask questions about their
steps. Questions might include:
• What are some of the problems that can occur in the game?
How might they be solved?
Student Assessment:
1. I will asses completion of the poster: it’s value as a set of instructions
(Are the instructions easy to follow? Are there any missing components?
Can someone with no knowledge of the game gain an understanding of
the game?) and its aesthetic value (Is it aesthetically pleasing? Is it easy
to read?
