Who we are, who came before us and traditions and values have shaped
societies.
Money is used to buy items, how money can be saved
Similar goods and services may vary in price
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:
English and History
Was life the same for everyone?
Whose story is this? Whose voices arent we hearing?
Why am I writing? For whom?
What is the author sayng? What makes you think so?
Mathematics
How does comparative shopping save money?
How best to make money amounts
Skills:
Pose questions
Informal feedback given during class participation for the KWL chart and class word wall
Formal feedback given during the teacher-student conferences and when students chose their inquiry question

Maths
Diagnostic Task - What do you know about Money?
Formative Tasks - Rounding and giving change activity
Student response to comparing prices
Informal feedback given during class participation for class word wall
Self-assessment:
English and History
Students in collaboration with teacher will create a self-assessment sheet for the historical narrative to be completed at the end of the unit
STAGE 3: LEARNING PLAN
What teaching and learning experiences will you use to:
achieve the desired results identified in Stage 1?
equip students to complete the assessment tasks identified in Stage 2?
Where are your students headed? * Where have they been? * How will you make sure the students know where they are going?
What experiences do the learners bring to the unit? How have the interests of the learners been ascertained? Have the learners been part of the
pre-planning in any way? What individual needs do you anticipate will need to be addressed?
Learning environment: Where can this learning best occur? How can the physical environment be arranged to enhance learning?
[N.B. Questions with an asterix (*) need not be addressed unless you have had a chance to find out about your prac class]
Students today are required to be active and informed citizens and by allowing students to complete inquiry learning, they are being equipped to
understand where information comes from and how they can access reliable information, rather than simply learning facts that are given to
them. With this in mind the classroom will be set up with learning stations where students can access different forms of information. There will
also be displays of information and work that will begin in consultation with the students about how they wish to display work and the types of
work that could be displayed. The students themselves will have some control of what they wish to display when the work is completed.
How will you engage students at the beginning of the unit? (motivational set)
By allowing students to complete inquiry learning, they are being equipped to understand where information comes from and how they can
access reliable information, rather than simply learning facts that are given to them.
