Real-World SituationSet the context of the scenario.Explain the situation.Can be as detailed as you want.Pose a question.Tell a story.Get CREATIVE!

Arctic Survival Unit Situation

What if you were lost on the tundra in August during a hunting trip? How would you survive? What resources would you like to have with you to help you survive? Use your knowledge of survival to create a kit and explain the functions of each resource.

Whaling Flag Unit Scenario

It is the last day of the fall whaling season. Having been part of the third successful crew, you are helping to prepare food during the traditional Captain’s feast. You crew’s whaling flag flies proudly over the house, fluttering gently in the wind.

Suddenly, a fierce gust catches the flag and rips it from the pole. It dances through the air, caught on the currents. When the gust finally subsides, your flag flutters slowly toward earth where an unsuspecting polar bear is feasting on the remains of the whale’s carcass.

As gravity pulls the flag toward the ground, it gets caught on the polar bear’s radio collar. Frightened by the flapping, the bear rushes at breakneck speeds towards the safety of the ocean. She plows head first into the icy waters of the Beaufort Sea, pulling your whaling flag with her. With one last glimpse, the bear dives below the waters, taking your flag to the depths, never to be seen again.

Whaling Flag Unit Situation

As a member of a Kaktovik fall whaling crew, one of your responsibilities will be to make sure that your crew has a flag for the next whaling season. How will you construct a flag? What skills will you use to sew the flag to ensure that it is not destroyed by the elements?

Real-World Products or Performances

Clarify what the students will create and why they will create it.

Arctic Survival Unit Product

You will be able to explain what you would do if you got lost on the tundra.You will create a survival kit with resources that will help you survive.

Whaling Flag Unit Product

You will create a reproduction of a current Kaktovik whaling flag in order to show the importance the flag plays in the hunt and the image found on the flag.

Standards and CriteriaProvide students with a clear picture of success.Identify specific standards for success.Issue rubrics to the students or develop them with the students.

Arctic Survival Unit Standards

A successful result will be the construction of a survival kit with resources that will help you get food, water, and shelter. You must also be able to explain the uses of each item in the kit. The survival kit will be scored using the Survival Kit Rubric.

Whaling Flag Unit Standards

A successful result will be the construction of a whaling flag that shows the imagery chosen by a contemporary whaling crew. This flag will be added to a quilt that will be constructed by the entire third and fourth grade class. You must be able to measure, cut, attach, and sew the flag so that it remains intact and is a reasonable likeness used by one of the current whaling crews.The whaling flag quilt square will be scored using the Whaling Flag Rubric.
