Career and Technology Foundations Presents:
Building Dansereau’s Community :
One Duck Story at a Time
Mr. Trueman
Course Outline and Expectations
Term 1 - September 2 - November 20
BIG IDEAS we will explore:
- What makes for a vibrant, supportive community?
To what degree do our students feel like part of École Dansereau School?
- How can we find interesting stories to share?
How do good writers bring interesting stories to life?
- How can art and literacy work together to build community?
To what extent can a paper mache duck and it’s interesting story affect how students feel toward École Dansereau School?
Classroom Expectations:
- Respect yourself, others, and your surroundings.
- Be on time and prepared with materials.
- Take responsibility for your decisions, and accept the consequences of your choices.
- All work is to be completed to the best of your abilities.
Be persistent, open to new ideas and ways of thinking, and forgive yourself!
Materials:
The following supplies are required for The Dansereau Stories Project:
- Duotang filled with lined paper
- Pens
- At least one colour of correction pen (ex. red/green)
- Pencils and erasers
- At least 2-3 colours of highlighters
- Your Dansereau Stories Project may require specialty materials. You will plan for these materials, and your plan/materials budget must be approved by both your parents and Mr. Trueman.
Marks & Assessment:
All assessments will be related to at least one of the big ideas outlined on page 1 of this syllabus. These assessments will come from teacher’s formative and summative assessments and evidence-based student self-assessments. They will be reported in PowerSchool using the following codes:
PRF
|
Proficient
|
Achievement meets grade level expectations. Student demonstrates achievement independently.
|
PRG
|
Progressing
|
Achievement inconsistently meets grade level expectations. Student requires support in some areas.
|
BEG
|
Beginning
|
Achievement does not yet meet grade level expectations. Student requires ongoing support.
|
A variety of formal and informal self-assessments will be used. You will also be taught how to accurately self-assess your work – this will help you to discover how YOU learn best, and help you to improve the quality of your work as well.
*** I will do my best to post updates and information regarding project due dates, as well as other information on my blog. Please check it on a regular basis, as it will help you keep up with your work.*** Find the tab “Dansereau Stories CTF” at http://truemanpatrick.blogspot.ca/ .
