=Stage 2 - Determine Acceptable Evidence.=

//• //iMovie: Students create a movie to explain what each piece of a linear equation is and it's affects on the resulting graph. //• //Graphing on NLVM: Students enter an equation to see what the resulting graph would look like. //• //SMARTboard: Students create an interactive presentation to show how they solved for slope and velocity. //• //Wikispace: Students create a wiki that displays different ways in which linear equations can be written and also the situations in which each would be used. //• //GeoGebra: Students can create lines based on their equations that show if they are parallel or perpendicular. //• //Comic Life: Students can first calculate distance and midpoints by hand and then make a digital story through Comic Life about how they came to their solutions. || • Self-Assessment: Rubrics offered to students to grade themselves before the teacher does. • Reflection: Journal Entries to include items such as: reactions, things learned, any changes to the process, personal strengths and weaknesses. || =Assessment Task Blue Print=
 * **Performance Task (Summary in G.R.A.S.P.S. form):** **(T)** ||
 * **Goal:** You are to create a snowboard park within certain dimensions to have a specified distance and slope appropriate for a specified skill level.
 * Role:** You are a snowboard park designer hired to create a new snowboard park.
 * Audience:** Your audience will be the Sugarloaf Board of Directors as well as Olympic Gold Medalist Seth Wescott.
 * Situation:** The challenge is to create a park that is within your given dimensions and skill level.
 * Product/Presentation:** You need to create an equation of a linear equation with a skill appropriate slope and the distance fits within the dimensions provided.
 * Standards (Criteria from both rubrics - product and presentation):**
 * Product:** Mathematical Reasoning (20%), Working with Others (15%), Explanation (15%), Mathematical Concepts (20%), Appearance (15%), Neatness & Organization (15%)
 * Presentation:** Comprehension (25%), Preparedness / Attire (15%), Content (25%), Posture & Eye Contact (15%), Enthusiasm (10%), Collaboration with Peers (20%) ||
 * Other Evidence (quizzes, test, prompts, observations, dialogues, work sample, etc.):**
 * **Other Evidence** **(OE)** ||
 * 
 * Student Self-Assessment and Reflection**
 * **Self-Assessment** **(SA)** ||
 * • Pre-Assessment: Quiz on linear relationships to see what students already know.

//**What understandings/goals will be assessed through this task?**// **(G)** D. Algebra Functions and Relations ||
 * **Understanding** || **Goal (MLR)** ||
 * • Linear relationships are characterized by a constant rate of change. || • MLR: Mathematics

What criteria are implied in the standard(s) understanding(s) regardless of the task specifics? What qualities must student work demonstrate to signify that standards were met?

//**Through what authentic performance task will students demonstrate understandings?**//
 * **Task Description:** **(T)** ||
 * With an increasing amount of people wanting to snowboard over ski, Sugarloaf Ski Resort, located in Western Maine, is looking for a snowboard park designer to create a new section of their snowboard park. Your company, Whitten Architects out of Portland, Maine, has been given the task of designing a new snowboard park that would be appealing to all different experience levels. However, you will have space limitations and will need to create a slope that will be appropriate for your given skill level as well as an appropriate distance so that a snowboarder is not going faster than they should like to be. You and your design company will make your way out to Sugarloaf in order to convince the Sugarloaf Board of Directors as well as Olympic Gold Medalist Seth Wescott, as to why your snowboard park design is the best and is appropriate based on skill level. They are also interested in learning where your numbers came from, so be prepared to explain that. If your design company is chosen, your company’s design will be selected to be the new addition to the mountain but it will also increase your likelihood of being selected to create future expansions of the park. Good Luck! ||
