STEP 2 ASSESSMENT EVIDENCE
PERFORMANCE TASKS:

Creating a cartoon animation on what they know about treating themselves and others with respect.

OTHER EVIDENCE:
Classroom discussion participation.

STEP 3 LEARNING PLAN
MATERIALS:

Drawing paper
Pencils
Crayons/Markers (students choice)
Animation program (Flip Boom)
Computer lab (on appropriate days when
students are ready for the animation.)
Lined paper
Books:

DIFFERENTIATIONS:
Students with motor control issues will be encouraged to use pre-made pictures already present in the animation program. If needed will be allowed to skip the hand made drawings in the rough draft.

Students whose behavioral plans provide for extra break time to prevent frustration levels from rising will be given the extra time to complete the assignment.

For students having a hard time finding a story to create, small group workshops will be lead by the teacher.
