Teacher will pass out a copy of the client letter from Peter Rabbit and data set to students and discuss lesson goals and objectives before beginning lesson. Explain to students that they will be participating in an MEA lesson and activities using real-world problem solving strategies and collaboration skills to find and present information and data to a client. Give students the assessment rubric and make sure they understand it before they begin. See rubric Mea Rubric Show and discuss the presentation rubric (This can be given to students after they have a solution and are ready to create a presentation.) Provide continuous feedback to students while they are engaged in their group activities. Ask questions to elicit students' thinking as they are working on the problem or reflect on what they worked on after they finish. Example questions: Why do you think that? How do you know if you have an answer to the problem? Would your solution work in a different situation? What are the most important things to consider in your procedure? What are the strengths and weaknesses of each? Do you agree or disagree with your classmates ideas? Why or why not? Students will receive feedback on a continuous basis and follow up questioning to ensure that students understand how to apply their knowledge and ask questions within their groups. Summative Assessment Use the MEA Rubric to assess student solutions. Use Presentation Rubric from bie.org to assess presentation. See Comprehension Questions. Learning Objectives Students will describe how plants respond to changing seasons. Students will recognize area as an attribute of plane figures and understand concepts of area measurement. Students will measure areas by counting unit squares.
