Content Building Considerations● Open-ended questions--think of every

possible way a student might answer a problem

Process

Students take watch video and complete their note sheet.

Students must complete their practice until they get 10 correct. Teacher provides remediation/intervention when student needs it

Students must earn 80% on their test for the next Chapter to open. Students are given 2 attempts on their own. A third attempt can only be granted after content-specific remediation.
