For self-assessment, single-choice SCQ and multiple-choice MCQ questionnaires are not very user-friendly. Three other types of more playful activities are:
- Drag-and-drop on an image exercises which allow learners to check if they can orient themselves in a sketch or graph. They work by simple drag and drop
- Gap fill in texts with or without contextual images which require a little more concentration on the part of the learner, but are very fruitful in ensuring that difficult concepts are well understood
- Categorization exercises which complement the previous two activities well: learners organize the elements into categories and thus learn to distinguish their characteristics

There are many environments for developing such activities, but most of them are paid and their deployment can cause various problems.

It therefore seemed justified to develop solutions that are easy to implement and free of rights, shared as open educational resources.

This is an activity about political cartoons it is designed for high school students who need scaffolding and other supports to do the assignment accurately.

Created by NHPRC Teacher Participant/Creator Rachel Wylie for Global History. Adaptable to other grades. History is the study of the past based on available evidence at the time. In this project, you will create a time capsule full of evidence to allow your descendants to better understand who you are, your immigration story, and what life was like in 2018. This opportunity allows you to use evidence to enable future generations of your family to reconstruct your personal past. Each student’s time capsule will undergo peer-analysis of the primary evidence provided in the capsule.

This Google Sheet was created to support a Time Management module in a Strategies for College Success course. The plan is for the instructor to share one copy of the Sheet with each student for an assignment lasting 2 or 3 weeks. Students estimate the time they spend each week on common daily tasks, such as sleeping, working, or attending class. Space is provided for students to enter up to three custom tasks. After estimating how they spend time, students track their time spent for a full week. Through the magic of spreadsheet formulas, time spent per task is color-coded to help visualize large and small blocks of time. Time for the week is tallied on the summary tab, where a warning message appears if less than 24 hours are logged for any given day. After comparing their estimated hours to their actual recorded hours, students propose changes they can make in how they spend their time to increase their scholastic success. A tab with five questions is included for student reflection. Instructions for how to use the Sheet are provided for faculty on the Info & LIcense tab. Cell formulas are editable only by the document owner; students cannot accidentally overwrite. Colors are selected from a palette known to be perceivable by people with most forms of colorblindness. Author contact information is available on the Info and License tab.

Time management is arguably the most important skill one can master to maximize daily happiness & success.

A survey of several time management tools and techniques that can be applied to most work and life situations.

Main Course Learning Objectives:
The General Chemistry 1 (SCC 201) course has multiple course learning objectives, which articulate key introductory chemistry concepts that all STEM students should possess. In particular, the Newtown Creek titration experiment aligns with SCC 201 learning objectives of: Demonstrate an appreciation of the role of chemistry in various aspects of life Perform basic laboratory skills such as the proper execution of titration techniques Describe and explain the fundamental chemistry concept of solution concentration Analyze and represent experimental data in tables and graphs, interpret experimental results and write laboratory reports
In the SCC 201 laboratory, students are asked to complete the experiment and then use the data to write a formal written lab report, which consists of an introduction, materials, methods, results, discussion and conclusion. The student work serves as an excellent artifact under the Written Communication Ability, which is designated for the SCC 201 course. In addition, the Global Learning Core Competency is incorporated in the Newtown Creek titration experiment, where students are asked to measure the chloride concentrations from the Superfund site. After calculating and determining the chloride amounts, students are prompted to discuss the impact of the findings on the Newtown Creek site and furthermore the surrounding environment on both a microscopic and macroscopic level. For example, students are asked to compare the chloride concentration values to the standards set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency and to address the implications of the pollutant on existing plant life and people who reside near Newtown Creek. The responses from students show the success in meeting the dimensions of the Global Learning Core Competency. The SCC 201 course lies in the midpoint of the program curriculum map for both the Biology and Environmental Science programs and this laboratory assignment accounts for 3.5% of the final SCC 201 grade. LaGCC STEM major students will spend 3 hours completing the experiment in lab and as well spend an estimated 3-4 hours completing the lab write-up. The Titration of a Newtown Creek Environmental Water Sample to Determine the Amount of Chloride Ions experiment was developed as part of the Community College Undergraduate Research Initiative (CCURI). Additionally, this work was workshopped in an assignment development charrette during the 2018-2019 CTL Mini-Grant Global Learning Sub-seminar.

This resource is a comprehensive worksheet with questions designed to better a student's understanding of the novel To Kill a Mocking Bird by Harper Lee.

As you read To Kill a Mockingbird each week, you will fill out your copy of the Running Theme Log for the theme you have selected.  Once you have selected your theme, you will track and analyze it for the next several weeks, so make sure you pick a theme you are most interested in.  You must have at least 1 entry per week but will likely find that you will have 3 or more entries a week depending on the theme you selected.  There is no maximum for the number of entries you can have, only a limit of at least 1 per week. Running Theme Log: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RWgozZZVN33CYmS9-soA_8FkklBoW7Yv10UehaZX-4A/edit?usp=sharing

Students will understand the basic process of how a bill becomes a law, critique the current process, and offer suggested improvements to the process.

Here is another place to find all worksheets required to complete this week's activities. 

Student will read and study Hughes' poem, "I, Too" and identify the tone in the poem.

This learning plan is for middle school ELA. Scholars will be able to (SWBAT) produce the IC/DC chart from memory and use to correctly punctuate sentences. Punctuating clearly is a part of clean, fluent communication.This plan has been created by Cherie J. Johnson for the purpose of helping middle school students on their way to becoming clean, clear, fluent writers. This material was put together while participating in the workshop- Nebraska’s OER Common’s Hub for ELA & Reading; July 22-24, 2020. 

This is a computer lab where the students model the area to be mined, and estimate the amount of overburden that must be removed before the coal surface is exposed for mining.

Students make DEM-based observations and develop and test hypotheses regarding topographic differences between the two sides of the Colorado Sangre de Cristo Range.

Within this collection you will find lessons, videos, handouts, and teacher guides you can use in your classroom.  You will also find a brief summary of each resource with the source sited for further exploration, appropriate grade level, approximate lesson length, and learning standards.

This is a PBL tourism

In this lesson, students will view Wendy Troxel's TEd Talk, "Why School Should Start Later for Teens." While viewing the TED Talk, students will identify and trace the main parts of her argument.

Students will create a panorama drawing of their own landscape.  They will include landmarks and cardinal directions in their drawings, and use their drawings to plot the movement of the sun in the sky over the course of a day. They may make their observations in one day, or over a period of days or weeks. Once students have created their own panoramas, they will look at panoramas taken in the North and South Poles and compare similarities and differences. They will then explore the “Sun Path Simulator” online. Before beginning these lessons, students should already know: 1) How to find the four, cardinal directions, and 2) That the Earth rotates on its axis, and revolves around the sun. 3) How to tell time.  This unit pairs nicely with the Mystery Science Unit, Spinning Sky. Where indicated, worksheets and videos for lessons can be found on their website. Links to all other worksheets for the entire unit are in the “Overview” Section of my slideshow. Each day’s lesson comes with a worksheet to focus the students and to show evidence of student learning.
