Strand Specific ATL Lesson Plans

This space is meant to house generic videos or resources that help to explain an ATL that is often used to further develop understanding within this criteria.

For example, in Criteria A, students are usually collecting and verifying information. We would reference this ATL mapping document and find the ATL that best works with this Criteria and map it. Reference as such:

Interviewing someone takes guts, but there are ways you can take a lot of the pressure off of yourself and the interviewee. Here are some strategies:

  1. Email or contact them in person to discuss the types of questions you are going to ask them. If possible, send them a list so they can prepare their answers.
  2. Set up a time that is good for both of you and won't be rushed.
  3. Take notes! When they answer one of your questions, be sure to jot down the main points of their answers.
