Assignment+Criteria

**Assignment Criteria & Process**
STEP 1 ** Locate the [|Oregon state standards] for teaching social sciences. As a group, skim through the PDF document and choose both a content standard and benchmark to focus on for your wiki project.

Post the Oregon state standard and benchmark chosen on your PLN’s main page of the EDST 220 wiki. On the same main page, provide a link to the complete set of Oregon standards for social sciences. Also provide a link to the corresponding national standard. Use [|this link] as a starting point but **DO NOT** just post this link on the wiki page. You will need to read through the national standards and find the one that matches the state standard you chose for the project. Include the specific national standard link on your main page, along with appropriate [|annotations] for both state and national links.
 * STEP 2 **


 * By the end of Step 2, your PLN will have one main page with:**
 * **the posted state standard/benchmark chosen by your group;**
 * **a link to the complete set of Oregon standards for social sciences;**
 * **a link to the specific national standards addressed.**

Each group member is responsible for finding 1 online lesson plan meeting the state standard and benchmark chosen by the group. Use these resources (or [|search] for your own sites):
 * STEP 3 **
 * 1) [|The Educator's Reference Desk: Lesson Plans]
 * 2) [|Discovery Education Lesson Plans Library]
 * 3) [|HotChalk Lesson Plans Page]

Each PLN member will create his/her own page inside the EDST 220 wiki. On your page, provide a link to the chosen online lesson and summarize the lesson (1 paragraph or more) for others to read. Summaries should include lesson objectives, process overview, and the evaluation tools to be used. Be sure to add [|wikilinks] wherever appropriate.
 * STEP 4 **

As pages are added, class members should edit the navigational layout of the class wiki so the interface remains clean and easy to navigate. **DO NOT** just add pages “willy-nilly” or the whole site will become confusing and we will all suffer!


 * By the end of Step 4, your PLN will have:**
 * **one main standards page;**
 * **(5) individual pages, each with one lesson plan link and one summary posted.**

Each PLN member must read all five lessons and summary posts from their group members. Every member will post a one 1-paragraph submission in response to each summary and lesson link ([5] responses total, one on each member’s page). These responses should be your ideas for how to adapt, refine, modify, and/or extend the original lesson or an idea posted by another group member. Members should feel free to edit submissions and should include wikilinks in their posts.
 * STEP 5 **


 * By the end of Step 5, your PLN will have:**
 * **one main standards page;**
 * **(5) individual pages, each with one lesson plan link, one summary, and (4) responses.**

Return to your PLN’s main page. Link each member’s lesson page to this main page. Then add a “Resource” section to the page. In this section, each member must provide two links to interactive websites and/or online/offline extension activities that reinforce the state content standard chosen (the links do not necessarily have to support specific lessons found, but this is encouraged). Use sites we’ve visited in class or search for new sites. The links should include annotations (a brief explanation of the site). There should be (10) supporting links on your main page.
 * STEP 6 **


 * By the end of Step 6, each PLN will have:**
 * **1 main page with the state content standard and benchmark posted, the national standard link, links to each individual page, and a resource link list ([10] links total);**
 * **(5) individual pages, each with one lesson plan link and original summary, followed by (4) responses.**

**Additional Criteria:**

 * Include at least 2 images, [|widgets], or interactive elements (anywhere on the group's 6 pages). These can be added by any group member.
 * Include at least 10 wikilinks (anywhere on the 6 pages). These can be added by any group member.
 * All members must contribute as described above. Although this is a group project, assessments will be determined on an individual basis.
 * NOTE: if your group has less than 5 members, the number of pages/responses/resource links will decrease accordingly.

**Assessment:**

 * This project is worth 10 points.** All submissions are due by **Monday, May 10th at 8 a.m.** Late submissions will not be evaluated. Please read the [|Wiki Rubric] for specific assessment information.
