Through the IPW curriculum, students will be able to:◦ source for information and apply it
critically◦ improve oral and written
communication skills◦ foster collaborative learning skills
Learners will understand that…
…effective communication is important to bring our ideas across to our intended audience. …group processes are necessary to work productively and effectively in a team.…it is important to discern the validity of the information gathered through verifying the credibility of the source and consulting multiple sources.
There are 5 Performance Tasks to be completed over the course of Semester 1
Each Performance Task is further broken down to a few components
Group facilitator: moderates discussions, keeps the group on task, assures work is done by all, and makes sure all have opportunity to participate and learn.
Timekeeper: monitors time and moves group along so that they complete the task in the available time, keeps area clean, assumes role of any missing group member.
Recorder: takes notes of the group's discussion and
prepares a written conclusion.
Checker: makes sure that all group members understand the concepts and the group's conclusions.
