Activity 10.5

Step 2: Revisiting the Project Plan

Considering the information in the previous step and what you have learned through your practice learner Showing Evidence case, revise your ideas for your project. Step back from just the use of the Showing Evidence Tool and sketch out the larger picture of the overall project. If you are not going to use Showing Evidence in your project, continue working on other parts of your Project Plan that need completion.

1. Open your Project Plan.

2. Revise the Showing Evidence Title, Project Description, and Prompt, if needed.

3. Consider whether additional standards or learning objectives could be targeted in your Project. Revise the Assessment Standards, if necessary.

4. Review your Curriculum-Framing Questions and revise if necessary.

5. Considering the ideas on the previous Steps about continuous assessment, in the Assessment Summary section of the Learner Assessment Plan, add your ideas for how you would assess the learning during the project. Revise the Timeline section, if needed.

6. In the Procedures section, draft the activities that will occur in the classroom that lead up to, include, and follow the use of the thinking tools and assessments.

7. Draft or outline the Project Summary by briefly describing your ideas for the overall project. Include your general concept of the whole project, not just the activity that will use the Showing Evidence Tool. Explain the main task, scenario, or challenge you will use to engage your learners.

8. Save your work.
