Escribir una carta persuasiva
This lesson was intended to be delivered in a face-to-face classroom environment. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, this lesson has been modified from its original design to be executed in a virtual setting.
This virtual lesson was designed to prepare students to communicate familiar topics in the presentational writing mode in the target language. Students will act as a college advisor and respond to a prospective student’s email regarding housing options. Students will then peer evaluate each other’s writing and provide meaningful feedback using a rubric.
Uncovering Tone in Poetry
Students will interpret the tone of a poem, cite text evidence to justify their response, and research a synonym for the word they chose to expand their understanding of Tier 2 vocabulary.
Teacher introducing the poem
Syntax Shuffle
Students will analyze one of four ways to incorporate grammar and syntax into their everyday language through the use of technological instruction. Once students have comprehended their grammatical type, they will practice among their peers to master and share the lesson (grammar rule) in a Jigsaw activity.
6 Chapter 6: Stoichiometry
In this chapter, students are introduced to the mole, mass relationships, and stoichiometric calculations with balanced equations.
2 Chapter 10: Light
In this chapter, we discuss visible light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation.
8 Chapter 3: Measurements
In this chapter, we strengthen math skills necessary for chemistry problems and discuss the SI units of measurement. Additionally, we convert between units of measurement and discuss interpreting data from graphs and tables.
3 Chapter 14: Nuclear Chemistry
In this chapter, we discuss nuclear reactions that occur in unstable nuclides.
8 Chapter 11: Electron Configuration and Periodic Trends
In this chapter, we discuss determining electron configurations and periodic trends.
3 Chapter 4: Science and Me
In this chapter, we will discuss how chemistry affects our everyday lives and how you can find careers in chemistry.
6 Chapter 8: Gases
In this chapter, we discuss the properties of gas particles and the laws that govern their behavior.
6 Chapter 12: Lewis Structures
In this chapter, we discuss how to write electron dot symbols for different compounds and the VSEPR Theory.
4 Chapter 13: pH Calculation
In this chapter, we discuss how to identify an acid or base and to find the pH of an acid or base.
3 Chapter 2: Scientific Methods
In this chapter, we discuss the general scope of science and chemistry, as well as the limitations of science. Additionally, we cover the steps of scientific methods and discoveries, and conduct an experiment to demonstrate appropriate procedures.
7 Chapter 9: Thermodynamics and Energy
In this chapter, we discuss energy changes in a reaction, and how to determine the energy produced or required by a reaction.
3 Chapter 1: Safety Lab Practices
In this chapter, we will discuss lab safety, safety data sheets, GHS labels, and proper disposal and recycling when finished with lab work.
12 Chapter 5: Matter
In this chapter, we will explain matter and its properties. We will also discuss the periodic table and how to name various compounds.
9 Chapter 7: Reactions
In this chapter, we will discuss solutions and different types of reactions.
Stoichiometry
Students will model real-world formulas and chemical reactions to investigate the meaning of limiting reactants.
Square Root Regression
This lesson is a student discovery lesson that culminates in square root regression with technology. Students will use their study of inverses, the relationship between quadratic and square root functions, their previous knowledge of regression, and determine how to find the square root regression of real-world data.
