a. What 21st century skills does the student sample demonstrate?

In the Healthy Oceans/Healthy Planet unit plan students are required to collaborate in groups to create a brochure about the ocean as well as an oral presentation. Students are required to collaborate and research problems concerning the world's oceans using Internet website. In this unit project, students can use the visual ranking tool or the seeing reason tool. Students are also working collaborately on different experiments regarding oceans. In this unit students are required to use higher level thinking skills.

b. How does the student sample help to answer the Curriculum-Framing Questions?

· **Essential Question ** How are we interconnected? · **Unit Questions ** Why are our oceans important? What problems do our oceans face? · **Content Questions ** How does human activity change the shore? What are the three main groups of life that live in the ocean? What are some of the resources of the ocean and their uses? What factors contribute to the pollution of our oceans? Student groups are required to create a brochure and oral presentation to answer the Curriculum Framing Questions. Students also will be taking an end of unit formative assessment.

c. How does the chosen technology tool enable students to enhance their learning, increase productivity, and promote creativity?

Students will use the chosen technology tools (powerpoint presentation, Visual ranking tool, and Seeing reason Tool) to promote higher level thinking on Blooms Taxonomy.
