Connecting with PGES
Jigsaw ActivityYour task: In your small groups, consider what’s happening in the classroom during the Formative Assessment Lesson we just completed, “Interpreting Distance-Time Graphs.” Identify the indicators that an observer would likely see and what performance level they might fall under. Make a list (each person write it down or mark on your PGES framework) and be prepared to share with others.
Group 1: 2A, 2B, 2CGroup 2: 3A, 3B
Group 3: 3C, 3D, 3E
Lunch Ticket
