How does learning to deal with a phobia help cope with other challenges in life?
In this studio we will work to develop competencies in literacy, which is the comprehension of written, spoken, and watched mediums of communication. We will also develop writing and communicating skills.
Use the competency guide to direct your learning.
ELA 2 - Writing Effectively
ELA 3 - Collaborative Discussion
Outcome: Create a way to share the information you learn about your selected fear topic to your teacher and academic peers. What might we want and need to know about your selected topic? How does learning to deal with a phobia help deal with other challenges in life? This could be a traditional paper, podcast, news article, broadcast, or a brochure.
This is where you will find Assignment #1 and #2.
These assignments will help develop your skills for your first performance task and introduce you to a better understanding of fear.
Assignment #3 and #4 and Reading Performance Task #1
This milestone focuses on competency ELA 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 by reading two short stories and watching a Disney short. Reading the stories will help us develop our understanding of reading strategies, evaluating main ideas, creating summaries, identifying author's purpose, and analyzing craft. By practicing these skills through reading we will be able to become better at understanding the stories we hear as we communicate with others. Learning to analyze enables us to "hear" people better.
Assignment #5 and Performance Task #2 and #3
This milestone will help develop your understanding of fear through speaking and listening. Communication is a skill, like any other, that develops over time and with practice.
Assignment #6, #7, and #8. Along with performance task # 4.
Within this milestone we will learn the value of research. The thrill of asking questions and finding answers. The goal for this milestone is to collect the information you need to include sound and credible evidence in your final culminating project. An additional goal is that you have the opportunity to dive down the rabbit hole where questions and answers lead to even more questions.
Assignment #9, #10, #11 and #12. Along with performance task #5, the culminating project, this milestone will put all of your learned skills together as you share the information you learned, along with your personal reflection. The medium you choose to share the information is up to you. You can create a podcast, video, news article, paper or brochure to share your information.
