Scenario

Look at the following video and pay attention as I will be asking you questions on the video once we finish watching it.

 

 

Task

Sample Investigations/Teacher Resources

The teacher in the video has lost all her letters cards during the summer. She has asked me to help her in the making of new sets. I am going to need your help with this project.  You and your team members will have to find a way to make new, big, colorful letters of the alphabet in order to play the game as in the video with your teacher and then donate them to the teacher in the video. 
Add your sample investigations and descriptions here

Student Work

Standards

1. List your personal understanding, ideas or hunches.

Now that you are have reviewed and are familiar with forming words from letters and word processing, you will write everything you know about it. Describe your thoughts or ideas about how to solve the problem. There are no incorrect answers in this step, just feel free to brainstorm your ideas.

 

2. List what is known.

 With your team use all the information available in the scenario to list everything that you know about forming words from letters and word processing. You do not have to conduct any research yet. Just use the information given and write the facts that you already know about forming words from letters.

3. List what is unknown.

With your team, make a list about what you do not know about forming words from letters and would like to learn. List all the questions you will need to answer to solve the problem.  
   

5. List what needs to be done.
"What should we do?" List actions to be taken, e.g., question an expert, conduct research, go to a board meeting about topic. List possible actions. 

 

6. Develop a problem statement.

You will be responsible for thinking and choosing one of the questions to solve the problem.  A problem statement should come from your analysis of what you know. In one or two sentences, you should be able to describe what it is that your group is trying to solve, produce, respond to, or find out. The problem statement may have to be revised as new information is discovered and brought to bear on the situation.

7. Gather information

Use all the resources available (Internet, library, etc) to research about the creating letter and find a solution.


8. Present Findings

Students will present their alphabet letters cards and will also use them to give examples of how words are made by combining sounds together.
