Description
You will be showing students the model performance task in this lesson. As explained in the Unit 3 Overview (Preparation and Materials), you determine the format in which students publish their “brochures.” Ideally, students will publish them using technology, as this unit includes standard W.7.6. Once you have selected a format for publishing that makes sense for your situation, develop a model performance task in that format to share with students. Included with this lesson is the text for a model brochure—you can adapt it to any format you choose to use. Creating a model in the format students will use will allow them to see exemplar work and help you guide them effectively as they create their own
