Phase 3: Decide on Objectives and Assessments


What outcomes do we expect from using the new methods?
Chapter 3
- Students will be able to define and explain in their own terms the important vocabulary from the section
- Students will be able to construct parallel and perpendicular lines using a compass.
- Students will be able to draw, label, and explain the relationships of alternate interior, alternate exterior, consecutive interior, and corresponding angles.
- Students will be able to prove two lines parallel by using the converse of the theorems from the line above.
- Students will be able to use the properties of parallel and perpendicular lines and expand upon their knowledge.
- Students will be able to use the coordinate plane and find the slope of two lines and then explain, based on their findings if the lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.

What are the best ways of assessing these outcomes?
- There are many different ways of assessing these different outcomes. We have several of them listed below.

1. Daily homework
2. Openers and closing writing responses
3. Have students turn in work from their different activities where they have to find something out on their own.
4. Quizzes by 2
5. Tests by 1
6. Have students work in small groups and give them a webquest or an assignment where they have to write a paper or prepare a powerpoint or video on a certain topic from the unit and give a presentation to the class.
