Tim's+Curriculum+Goals

Worksheet For Recording Ideas For Curriculum Plan Kiriaki-​ purple I really liked your idea for your curriculum web. This topic has many elements that the students will be able to use and apply in real life and in their futures. I enjoyed the fact that you incorporated many different subject areas within this assignment. Vinny - blue Great idea for your webquest. I like the real-world idea about being a stock trader.


 * Tim- black (how do you guys change color. i still havent figured it out. everytime i do it i can only get a sentence in and it goes back to the other color. Anyway, thank you for the feedback and i will answer them for you in case you were curious.**

In general terms what are you trying to achieve with these learners? You will answer this question in Activity 2a. What types of roles will your students engage in? Maybe you could mention the inquiry based activty in this section. Agreed. Might want to discuss how the groups will split up their roles and responsibilities
 * __ Your general educational goals __
 * // The learners that will engage within this curriculum web will get a sense of what it is like to be a stock trader. Through the roles of this web,, the students will evoke many strategies that many successful stock traders use in the “real world,” and apply them to situations in their own lives. //**

2. Conflict Negotiator - This student is responsible for resolving any conflict that may arise in the group during this game. In case of a conflict, "Negotiator" will present everybody's arguments to the group. After information is presented to all group members, a vote will take place to determine a final decision.

3. Evaluator- This student(s) is responsible for keeping track of own "group teams". They will discuss their research/opinion to the "group leader on whether to sell one of their teams

4. Evaluator of other groups teams- This student is responsible for evaluating the progress of other student's groups teams. They will present their arguments to the other members of the group and the"group leader" on whether to buy another groups team or teams. || Include their age and/or grade level, and other relevant information such as their interests, future goals, and background. You will answer this question in Activity 2b. Should there be any interests included here? Future goals? How will this benefit everyone. || What subjects, topics, or issues are at the center of this curriculum web? Subtopics: The biggest topic this topic will cover is to buy low and sell high. Simply, to understand the value of something based on performance, and how to manage your resources. That is the main idea of this whole thing. Here are the sub topics based on the subjects i named:
 * Description of your learners
 * // These learners are upper class high school students (11th and 12th Graders) //**
 * __ Description of your subject matter __
 * // There will be many subjects, topics and issues that will be addressed in this curriculum web: Economics, statistics, general mathematics, negotiation, management, buying/selling terminology (buy low sell high), and strategy (If you think that your team has reached its peak in value, you will sell it. Or if you think another groups team hasn’t reached its peak value yet, you will try to purchase the team for less than what the other group bought it for.) //**

Economics: (buy low and sell high) supply and demand. Simply understanding when to purchase something based on performance. Statistics: Self explanatory i think, but having the ability to analyze performace of your teams based on their stats. Negotation managment: Knowing when your getting a good deal or not. When or when not to take a risk.

You will answer this question in Activity 2c. Are there any subtopics you can specify within the Economics curriculum? For example, in Mathematics, you can specify within the subtopic of geometry, probability or number theory. A little confusing. Try to subtopic the economics as you did with math. || List your desired outcomes in terms of changes in the learners’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes. What subjects, topics, or issues are at the center of this curriculum web? Students will understand and be able to manage their personal and community resources. Students will understand mathematics and become mathematically confident by communicating and reasoning mathematically, by applying mathematics in real-world settings, and by solving problems through the integrated study of number systems, geometry, algebra, data analysis, probability, and trigonometry. Students will understand the concepts of and become proficient with the skills of mathematics; communicate and reason mathematically; become problem solvers by using appropriate tools and strategies; through the integrated study of number sense and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, and statistics and probability.
 * __ Detailed learning objectives __
 * 1. ****Standard3 **:ResourceManagement
 * 2. ****Standard3 **: Mathematics (Approved 1996)
 * 3. ****Standard3 **: Mathematics (Revised 2005)


 * 4. ****These NYS standards will be addressed in this curriculum web. The web will stress these particular parts of each standard, “ **to manage their personal and community resources,” “Students will understand mathematics and become mathematically confident by communicating and reasoning mathematically, by applying mathematics in real-world settings,” and “become problem solvers by using appropriate tools and strategies.”

You will answer this question in Activity 2d. || What relevant knowledge, skills, and attitudes do you expect your learners to have before they begin using this curriculum web?
 * __ Expected prerequisites __
 * // Students will need to know how to read and analyze a line chart, and evaluate their teams through other information sources such as newspapers, the internet, and sportscasts (on the 5 P.M. News) //**

You will answer this question in Activity 2e. Any math skills needed? Percentages, what numbers represent, etc.

Only math skills needed is the ability to understand simple basketball scores and the ability to comprehend a chart. || In a short sentence of phrase, describe what you want to teach to whom
 * __ Summary aim __
 * // The aim of this curriculum web is to give 11th and 12th graders the opportunity to apply business strategies (buy low sell high) to real life situations, and hopefully teach them how to manage their resources. //**

You will answer this question in Activity 2f. Any other skills besides buy low sell high involved with this project? how to manage fiscal resources i believe too. || Justify the use of time or other expenses to achieve the aim written above. Why should these learners reach your objectives? You will answer this question in Activity 2g. I agree with your statement of how our students are not being taught how to apply skills learned outside of the classroom. This will be a nice lesson to help them open their eyes to the many professions they could choose from for their future. I was just curious as to what role the NCAA plays within this activity. (I was just unsure :) )
 * __ Rationale __
 * // It is important for students to apply the skills they learn in the classroom to situations in their own lives. Due to NCLB, schools are geared towards students passing their exams and not teaching students how to apply these skills to situations in their lives outside of the classroom. The rationale of this webquest would be to have students apply skills they have learned in the classroom (buy low/ sell high) and apply it to something in their lives (the NCAA tournament.) A secondary goal of this web would be to teach students how to manage their own (fiscal) resources. //**

The teacher needs to put a numerical value to each team (based on their rank in the tournament) for this to work. I just thought it was a fun alternative to have them look at stock tickers all day. ||
