Flow Chart

 * 1) Begin with the End in Mind:


 * What state and national standards are addressed in this activity?

 * What will the final product be for this assignment?
 * Students will create 3 wiki pages explaining various topics surrounding a healthy diet.
 * Students will produce a 3-minute video demonstrating how to prepare a healthy meal.

3. Plan the Assessment:
 * In what ways will students be assessed throughout the course of the project?
 * Beginning: Students will be graded on a preliminary outline of the project. Main ideas are required as part of the outline. Ideas such as the topics for the wiki page and video demonstration must be included.
 * Middle: Student progress will be monitored by mini-due dates. Point for meeting these due date will be given.
 * End: A final assessment will conclude the activity. Students will be assessed according to the principles outlined on the rubric. A self-reflection as well as a team reflection will also serve as part of the final assessment.

4. Map the Project:
 * What dates are in place to outline the project?
 * Students will be given mini-due dates to monitor student progress as well as keep students on track with the assignment.
 * Project Outline: Date:
 * 1 wiki page complete: Date:
 * 2 resources included on resource page: Date:

5. Manage the Project:
 * What special adaptations are necessary to meet the diverse needs of students?
 * Students will be paired by individual academic achievement, as students that perform well in class will sit with students of lesser academic achievement. The theory of this pairing is to meet the individual instructional needs of each student.
