Evidence 1: Rationale 1: I use a wide variety of instructional strategies. The lesson linked here is particularly unique as it requires the students to implement their knowledge of the subject matter as well as a current event and demonstrate how an amendment in the Bill of Rights played a role in the event.

KSD:

7.K.3The teacher knows when and how to adjust plans based on student responses and other contingencies. //In this lesson my students are required to create their own news story, write a script, film and edit a news cast. Each group will take a different approach to their news cast, each individual will select a different amendment and a real life current event. The variety of topics and student ideas for meeting the requirements of the project demands that I stay flexible and adjust the plans and requirements on a student by student basis.//

7.S.4The teacher creates short-term and long- term plans that are linked to student needs and performance and adapts the plans to ensure student progress and motivation.

//In the Constitution Newscast my students have a long term plan with several goals as well as a list of short term objectives to meet on a daily basis.//

7.D.2The teacher believes that plans must always be open to adjustment and revision based on student needs and changing circumstances.

//As the students make progress on their daily objectives I am able to make adjustments on the future daily objectives and their long-term goals for the project based on their achievement and circumstances.//
