Objectives • Recommend effective strategies for working with others to accomplish a task. • Evaluate cost effectiveness and reusability of resources in accomplishing a task • Predict outcomes of group plans • Demonstrate persistence Planning Block One: Students will get a basic overview of writing checks and maintaining a check register. Students will be broken into teams and will complete the Lost on the Moon team work activity. • Block Two: The same groups will be given the “Eggstonaut” assignment. I will read the assignment to them and give them the remaining time to plan and construct their spegg shuttles. • Block Three: Students will accompany me to the top of the football field bleachers where the spegg shuttles will be thrown down to the ground. Teams will retrieve their shuttles and see if their Eggstonaut is alive. If not, they have to make it work before next class period and still do the second part of the project. Upon returning to the classroom, students will be given the second part of the assignment and will have the remaining time to plan. • Block Four: Students will again accompany me to the bleachers and will launch their spegg shuttles from the ground to the top of the bleachers. Students should complete the WAC Reflections to turn in the next class period. •
Assessment • Completion of each WAC Type 1 question with thoughtful responses will be 10 points each. • Check writing will be assessed at 10 points per check. The register will be evaluated at the end of the month when it is time to reconcile individual accounts. • Sustained Eggstronaut within the restrictions will be awarded 50 points. Failure to sustain the egg or design a spegg shuttle within the restrictions would result in a 64% or 32 points. Students can rely on the Ruthie Rule to assure they get all points.
