November/December 2019
 
With quarterly benchmarks behind us, it is time to finish the semester strong as we move through the second quarter. Remember, when planning, lessons should be Grade Appropriate, foster Deep Engagement, utilize Strong Instruction, and demonstrate High Expectations. We hope this newsletter will be useful as you and your team plan targeted, standards based lessons for your students. Happy Fall!

CELLULAR ENERGY
Learning Goals
  1. Students will identify the reactants, products, and/or the basic function of photosynthesis. (Retrieval)
  2. Students will identify the reactants, products, and/or the basic function of aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration. (Retrieval)
  3. Students will connect the role of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to energy transfers within the cell.
  4. Students will explain how the products of photosynthesis are used as reactants for cellular respiration and vice versa.
  5. Students will explain how photosynthesis stores energy in organic compounds and cellular respiration releases energy from organic compounds.

SPOTLIGHT ON STRATEGIES
Using a CER is a great tool for students to demonstrate their understanding of a concept. A CER also provides an opportunity for students to connect conceps to vocabulary.
  • C = claim (answer to the question)
  • E = evidence (evidence can come from data in a lab, video, picture, or text)
  • R = reasoning (scientific reasoning that connects the evidence to the claim
There are different formats to provide students information for a CER. Below is a resource for you to try out in your classroom.
