Explain the time required, how students should be grouped, and how differentiation should be handled. Be specific about how the plan will begin, progress, and culminate. Explain when the Academic Prompts should be used and how they lead up to student success on the Culminating Assessment. List each segment of the lesson as Step 1, Step 2, etc.
Academic Prompts: These small performance tasks enable students to practice the skills necessary to succeed on the Culminating Assessment. They are similar to what will be required in the final task, but are not part of the final task. There should be 2-3 Academic Prompts, depending on the skills needed to master the Culminating Assessment. Each prompt should place the student in a real world role and have him/her tackle a real world problem or challenge.
Culminating Assessment or Product: This final task should also should place the student in a real world role and have him/her tackle a real world problem or challenge. The final task will require students to use all of the skills that were developed through the lessons and in the Academic Prompts.
