Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL). How will students
learning be assessed? This lesson plan will help prepare students
for the 10th grade WASL exams in reading and writing. The in-class
written assignment will provide students with an opportunity to respond
to a persuasive writing prompt using a standard business format.
Procedure:
This lesson is designed to be taught in one class session. Allow approximately 15 minutes for students to read and discuss the case study. Then ask them, either individually or in small groups to complete the in-class written exercise. After 20 minutes, ask students to present their proposals.
Closure/Assessment:
Collect students in-class assignments. Review these both
for basic writing skills as well as for their ability to coherently
develop a strategy for David, taking into account the needs of the
other people who will be affected by his proposal.
As part of the closure for the class session, review with students
the essential underpinnings for any problem-solving exercise: understanding
the information you need to solve the problem, determining where
to obtain that information, developing a plan of action to solve
the problem, evaluating how others will be affected by your action
plan, and determining how to communicate your action plan.
