"“If you assign a project and get back 30 of the same thing, you didn’t assign a project. You assigned a recipe.”
- Chris Lehmann (@ChrisLehmann)
There are many different ways for our students to show us what they have learned. The more we restrict their opportunity to “show what they know”, the more we run the risk of frustrating students with “feedback” of poor performance on material they have actually mastered.
"
"Do you have students who don't "get it"? What about students who just don't seem motivated or interested?
These resources help students who need scaffolding to build connections."
"What are anchor activities?
specified ongoing activities on which students work independently
ongoing assignments that students can work on throughout a unit
Why use anchor activities?
provide a strategy for teachers to deal with “ragged time” when students complete work at different times
they allow the teacher to work with individual students or groups
provides ongoing activities that relate to the content of the unit
allow the teacher to develop independent group work strategies in order to incorporate a mini lab of computers in classroom"
Academic Ninjitsu is a taxonomy that scaffolds the way to an independent and rigorous learner. The repetitive cycle facilitates the practice of real world rigorous academic skills through content neutral activities with comprehensive guides and consistent outlines containing a work rationale, expectation-specific rubric, general guidelines, and examples. This provides enough structure to assign and grade previously vague activities like "notes" and "study cards."
Each item on the menu is one of nine steps in the learning process taxonomy. The system works best if you require students to turn in one finished activity from each step on a predictable schedule. Activities are worth various amounts of points relative to the amount of work they will take and the understanding or practice they will produce. It is recommended that you use a flexible grading system.
