PoL Planning - Artifact #1

Gathering Prompt: Share one project or piece of evidence from any of your classes that you feel like shows your best work.



Whole Group: Today you will choose your first artifact to support your claim! All of the things people shared from the gathering are examples of artifacts. Here are options that each teacher has given as an artifact you could use to show your learning and growth from their class! Remember that artifacts should be an example of your best work and show evidence of learning that occurred over time. We will review the questions you need to answer and do an example of describing an artifact together, using the questions on the Artifact 1 slide of your POL Planner.

Independent: Choose your first artifact, link it in to your POL Planner, and begin to describe it using the prompting questions! If you are using a drive file as an artifact, make sure to change the link so anyone can view! Remember to write your answers in complete sentences and then delete the questions.
