Introduction

[Begin with the concise statement introducing the concept, such as What is _ _ _ _ _? or What does - - - - mean to you? Tell the learners that they will explore examples of this concept to gain a great understanding and demonstrate this understanding.]

Task

[Describe the task as being divided into two stages: First, students will study a number of resources and examples and will tease out what these examples have in common to arrive at a definition. Then, with that new understanding, students will demonstrate their understanding by creating a product or activity such as a series of stamps, an interview, a waxless museum of a best representative. Don't list the steps that students will go through to get to the end point. That belongs in the Process section.]

Process

1. Provide a short list of examples or resources of the concept being studied. Have the students read and investigate them.
2. Discuss in class, their thoughts and preliminary conclusions. Use a graphic organizer to help student discern the critical attributes of the concept.
3. Provide a longer list of examples and have learners/groups of learners divide the task of identifying common attributes and threads. Scaffold this by providing a graphic organizer to guide their reading and decision making.
4. Have a class discussion debriefing the analysis and consolidating any discrepancies in analyses from different learners.
5. Student will create a product or activity that demonstrates their understanding of the concept. Scaffold as appropriate.

Evaluation

Describe to the learners how their performance will be evaluated. Specify whether there will be a common grade for group work vs. individual grades. You may want to have separate rubrics for individual and group work.

Conclusion
