Feb 12-16 - TMP Presentation Days

Best of luck to all the teams this week. Looks like we will be presenting in Ms. Cohen's classroom per the data on the Google Form you all filled out.

You presentations can be in widescreen or 4:3, I am not sure it matters.

Feb 9 - Final TMP Workday

Today is the final workday.

Additionally, we will have one or two practice presentations. We will also view a sample of a very solid TMP to use as inspiration for next week. Use this time to continue to enhance your arguments, presentations, alignment with the rubric, and speaking abilities.

Late next week I will formally post the PTII stimulus materials. The expectation will be for you to read them and then we can debrief after break.

Feb 5 - TMP Workday #3 and First Practice Presentation

Your Capstone teachers were hard at work over the weekend passing the TMP scorer training.


Nothing profound discovered from the trainings, but it did confirm our knowledge about the rubric and the tasks in general.

Today we will review some of those findings and some materials from The College Board. Stay engaged, ask questions, and work hard.

Feb 2 - TMP Workday #2

Yet another workday. Today I would like you to really think about the design of the presentation and the role of each group member.

Practice Presentations
Think about signing up for a practice presentation on the 5th or the 7th of February (voluntary opportunity). You will be given a full amount of time to present and get scored by your peers. I will have a sign up sheet available soon.

Presentation Order
Additionally, TMPs will be held the entire week of the 12th (with the 12th itself included). I will inform you of the presentation order before the period is over.

Work Hard!

Jan 31 - TMP Workday #1

Simple and straightforward work day. I would ask that you come with questions about the rubric and overall questions about Performance Task 1. Remember I cannot provide direct feedback but I can, "explore issues, discuss topics and perspectives, and/or answer questions as necessary" I can also... "teach skills pertinent to the performance task..."

So far I have not really met with anyone to review first semester work or discuss many issues whatsoever. I am concerned that you may not receive the full amount of support that I can actually provide.
