How do you work with the end in mind?

This week will be about Molly Ringwald... but also about you! It's your turn to plan the module - essential question, standards, skills, activities. How will you learn what you want to learn and show you know it?

Module summary:
  • choose...
    • an essential question to investigate
    • standards (C-TACHs) to focus on (in other words, skills to practice)
    • activities to help practice the skills
    • a DOK to demonstrate your newly honed skills
  • use...
    • The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, and/or Sixteen Candles
    • the C-TACH curriculum map
    • any other resources you would find helpful!

The sections below have been filled in based on what students chose as focus skills (C-TACHs), essential questions, and DOK on Monday.

essential questions

  • How do we relate to Molly Ringwald movies?
  • How can we use imagery to write blog posts people want to read?

goals

  • Students will understand that Molly Ringwald movies tend to transcend their time period because the characters, events, and themes of the movies are common to teenage life.
  • Students will understand that literary devices create visual images that help readers connect to the writing.
  • Students will understand that effective blog posts have short, "top-heavy" paragraphs written in conversational (but still polished) tone.
