Guiding Questions
•
How do we eat well?
•
Why does hunger exist?
Learning Goals
Students will consider personal connections with food. They will consider the type of food that they and
others eat and will indicate their likes and dislikes. They will be able to say why they eat/don’t eat certain
foods, describing their tastes and commenting on how healthy or unhealthy certain foods are. They will be
able to explain the number of calories needed to sustain life and will analyze the number of calories they
consume with regard to the US and other food pyramids. Finally, they will consider why hunger exists,
where it is prevalent and how various organizations are helping. As a class students will work individually
and in groups to draw attention to hunger issues.

Rigor/Relevance Framework
The Rigor/Relevance
Framework is a tool
developed by the
International Center for
Leadership in
Education to examine
curriculum, instruction,
and assessment. The
Rigor/Relevance
Framework is based on
two dimensions of
higher standards and
student achievement.
First, there is the
Knowledge
Taxonomy, a
continuum based on the
six levels of Bloom’s
Taxonomy, which
describes the
increasingly complex
ways in which we think.
The second continuum, known as the Application Model, is one of action. Its five levels describe putting
knowledge to use.
The Rigor/Relevance Framework has four quadrants. Each is labeled with a term that characterizes the
learning or student performance at that level.
Quadrant A ⎯ Acquisition: (Low Rigor, Low Relevance-Teacher Work):
Students gather and store bits of knowledge and information. Students are primarily expected to remember or
understand this knowledge
Quadrant B ⎯ Application: (Low Rigor/High Relevance-Student Work):
Students use acquired knowledge to solve problems, design solutions, and complete work. The highest level of
application is to apply knowledge to new and unpredictable situations.
Quadrant C ⎯ Assimilation: (High Rigor/Low Relevance-Student think):
Students extend and refine their acquired knowledge to be able to use that knowledge automatically and
routinely to analyze and solve problems and create solutions.
Quadrant D ⎯ Adaptation: (High Rigor/High Relevance-Student think and work):
Students have the competence to think in complex ways and to apply their knowledge and skills. Even when
confronted with perplexing unknowns, students are able to use extensive knowledge and skill to create solutions
and take action that further develops their skills and knowledge.

Français II-MARDI GRAS ! Interpretive assessment-Toni Theisen
http://www.dailysimply.com/2010/02/mardi-gras/
Sortez masques, costumes, chapeaux et confettis: c’est mardi gras!
Mardi dernier, un peu partout dans le monde, les gens se sont se déguisés et ont fait la fête comme des fous,
dansant dans les rues, dans de grands défilés musicales et colorés. Un petit tour des plus beaux carnavals du
monde, ça vous dit?
Le carnaval de Venise en Italie est organisé tous les ans depuis le 11ème siècle! A l’époque, pendant deux
longs mois, les Vénitiens masqués et costumés faisaient la fête dans les rues. Aujourd’hui, il ne dure « plus
que » douze jours. C’est l’un des carnavals les plus connus au monde, et il attire de nombreux touristes qui
viennent du monde entier pour participer à la fête.
A Venise, l’élément le plus important du costume, c’est le masque!
Le carnaval est la fête la plus populaire
au Brésil. Surtout à Rio de Janeiro!
D’ailleurs, le carnaval de Rio est l’un
des plus impressionnants au monde.
Pendant 5 jours, les Cariocas (les
habitants de Rio de Janeiro) font la fête
sans discontinuer, défilant et dansant au
rythme de la samba.
En France, le carnaval qui regroupe le
plus de monde est sûrement le carnaval
de Nice en France. Chaque année, plus
d’un million de spectateurs viennent
admirer les chars, faire la fête et
participer à la fameuse « bataille de
fleurs ».
Le carnaval de Dunkerque, France quant à lui, est célèbre pour ses défilés endiablés et ses nombreux bals.
À la Nouvelle-Orléans, Mardi Gras est une fête incontournable! Parades de chars, fanfares, déguisements…
En Louisiane, `A La Nouvelle-Orléans, c’est au rythme du Jazz que l’on célèbre cette fête fantastique.
Moi, j’adore le mardi gras! Une bonne occasion de se déguiser et de faire la fête dans la rue, ça ne se manque
pas!
Et vous, vous vous êtes déguisés aujourd’hui?
