This LES is adapted from various activities created during the 2020 lockdown for elementary cycle 3 students. 

It was adapted and improved for “Voies'' classes of CSSRDN in order to help teachers teach and assess students’ proficiency levels in the 3 ESL competencies. Voies classes at CSSRDN are for students who have not reached the grade 6 minimal expectations in more than one subject at the end of their elementary journey. It's a high school cycle 1 class with students of various levels of proficiency. The goal of this project is to have differentiated tasks  that are easily accessible to answer the needs of a variety of learners. It’s based on the assumption that having a well targeted task will increase the chances of learning happening. 

In the following LES, tasks are differentiated. Here are a few important facts to consider. 

1. A student doesn’t have to complete all the activities from the same level to complete the final task. They are interchangeable and pursue the same goal. 

2. Those levels do not represent a specific grade, they are a guidance for the teacher to evaluate his/her student’s proficiency in various types of tasks. 

3. Zone A corresponds to the level expected for an end of elementary cycle 3 / beginning of high school secondary one without modified tasks  (“modification” here is used as intended by the ministry, with a modified course code) . 

4. All tasks could be used with adaptation measures (word prediction, vocal feedback, extra time, font change, etc.) according to a student’s IEP and school team recommendations. 

5. Activities can be provided individually or as a booklet. 

The evaluation rubrics presented in this LES are only for zones A and A+ as other zones imply modification. Students with a modified report card are evaluated according to their personal objectives.
