Slide outline for Lesson 2.3, two days. Day 1 is slides 1 to 10 (draft and layout). Day 2 is slides 11 to 18 (finish, share, turn in). Slides 5 and 6 are the two teacher examples about fictional students; make them a 3 and a 4 on the rubric, not two 4s.
Day 1
All About Me One-Pager
- Lesson 2.3, Day 1: put it on one page
- Unit 2: Me, My Goals, My Money
- This is the Topic 2.1 check
- You need: your sort sheet, your strengths inventory, your interest quiz, your three notice cards
Teacher notes
Image: three worksheets fanned out next to one blank poster sheet.
Students pull the three sheets from the FACS folder while this is up. Pull your "needs more" pile from Lesson 2.2 and plan the two-minute conferences.
Do now
- Look at your three sheets from this week
- Write one thing on them you would want a new coach or a new boss to know about you
- One sentence, two minutes
Teacher notes
Cold call three. Then the hook: the next slide.
Meet Rosa
- Two minutes ago you knew nothing about her
- Read her page. 30 seconds
- Now you know five things
- That is what yours will do
Teacher notes
Image: a finished poster for a fictional student named Rosa: her name across the top, a one-sentence "known for" line under it, four boxes below.
This is the same poster as slide 5. Say nothing else; let them read.
The five parts
- 1. My top three values (Lesson 2.1)
- 2. My top three strengths, at least one from a notice card (Lesson 2.2, Day 1)
- 3. My two interest letters (Lesson 2.2, Day 2)
- 4. Two careers I want to explore (Lesson 2.2, Day 2)
- 5. What I want to be known for: one sentence that uses a value and a strength
Teacher notes
Everything is already on their sheets except the sentence. The sentence is the work.
Example 1, Rosa (poster)
Teacher notes
Image: Rosa's poster, readable: "ROSA" at the top; "I want to be known as someone who is honest and who can explain things so people get them"; values: honesty, family, learning; strengths: explaining, remembering details, keeps going (from a notice card); letters: S and I; careers: dietitian, teacher.
Score this one out loud against the rubric on slide 7. It is a 4, 3, 4: complete, clear but the careers box is a little small, connected. Show the scoring; say why the middle is a 3.
Example 2, Theo (slide)
Teacher notes
Image: a one-slide layout for a fictional student named Theo: name, "I want to be known as someone who builds things that work"; values: hard work, fun, independence; strengths: fixing things, focusing, makes people laugh; letters: R and A; careers: carpenter, video editor.
A 3, 3, 3. The sentence uses a strength (builds) and a value (hard work is implied, not named). Ask the class: which value is in the sentence? If they cannot find one, that is why it is a 3 on Connected.
How I score it
- Complete: all five parts, from your own sheets, one strength from a notice card
- Clear: readable from three feet, one idea per box, name and sentence biggest
- Connected: the sentence uses a value and a strength; each career links to a letter or a strength
- 12 points. Meets on all three is 9
- Your partner scores you tomorrow too, but my score is the grade
Teacher notes
Page 3 of the handout has this table. Students read it while you score Rosa.
Poster or slide?
- Poster: 11 by 17 paper, pencil first, then marker, ruler for lines, pictures only if they mean something
- Slide: one slide, five boxes, big font, no animations, your name in the file name
- Choose now and write it on page 1
- No cart today? Everyone does a poster
Teacher notes
[Sal: say here whether the cart is available.]
The draft, page 1
- Copy from your three sheets into the five boxes
- Nothing blank. Lost a sheet? Fill from memory
- The sentence: I want to be known as someone who ___ because I ___
- It must have a value and a strength in it
- 12 minutes
Teacher notes
Circulate. Run the two-minute conferences. Check Box 2 for a notice-card strength. Watch for a sentence that is a goal ("made the NBA"); push it to "who you are, not what you get."
Layout and exit line
- The three-foot rule: if someone three feet away cannot read it, it is too much
- Name and sentence biggest. Then four boxes
- Sketch on page 2 in pencil, then start the real thing
- Exit line: the part of my one-pager that is hardest to write is ___ because ___
Day 2
Teacher notes
13 minutes for layout and a start. Thumbs check on page 1 before they pack. Posters stay in the room; slides are saved.
All About Me One-Pager
- Lesson 2.3, Day 2: finish it and say it
- Today: 17 minutes to finish, a two-minute share, fix one thing, turn in
Teacher notes
Posters and page 3 at every seat. Timer up.
Do now
- Write the sentence you want to be known for
- Already wrote it? Read it and make one word better
- Two volunteers read theirs
Teacher notes
One minute of writing, two of reading. Then straight to work.
What "done" looks like
- All five parts
- Readable from three feet
- Your name on it
- Nothing crossed out on the final
- 17 minutes. I come around with the rubric and give each of you one sentence
Teacher notes
The clipboard sentence is the formal check in progress. Every student hears one sentence before the share so nobody is surprised by the score.
The partner share
- New partner, from a different table
- Speaker: two minutes, page in front of your partner
- Say it in this order, about 20 seconds each: name and sentence; values and where one shows up; strengths and which one someone else noticed; two letters; two careers and why
- Listener: no interrupting. Then score on page 3 and write one thing they can fix in three minutes
- Switch
Teacher notes
Run the timer both ways. Grade 6 shares for one minute. Grade 8: the listener asks one question the speaker answers without looking.
Good feedback, weak feedback
- Weak: "Good job." "I like it."
- Good: "Your careers box is too small to read from my seat."
- Good: "Your sentence has a strength in it but I cannot find the value."
- Feedback names where and what
Teacher notes
Read one feedback line per pair before the switch.
Fix one thing
- Read your partner's feedback
- Fix the one thing you can fix in three minutes
- Write what you fixed on page 3
Teacher notes
Three minutes. Then collect.
Turn in
- Poster with page 3 attached, or slide shared with page 3 handed in
- I score the same three criteria. Your partner's score is feedback, not the grade
- Page 1 stays in your FACS folder
Teacher notes
Say where posters go: home, or the wall. [Sal: ask before you tape any of them up.]
3-2-1 and tomorrow
- 3 things you learned about yourself this week
- 2 things you learned about your partner
- 1 career you want to know more about
- Tomorrow: goals. That last line is the first one you will write
Teacher notes
Three students read one line aloud. Not scored. Keep the cards; the "1 career" line opens Lesson 2.4.
