Performance Task: How to Succeed

Goal: Create slides that illustrate the main idea, claims, and evidence presented in Tough's piece and screencast your slides

Agenda: 
Journal
Finish Claim/Evidence Organizer
Google Slide Deck
Screencasting Tutorial
SOAPSTone Form

1. Journal 
How are you feeling today? Write about it.

2. Finish Claim and Evidence Organizer 
  • Yesterday we filled in the claims and evidence but today we'll start with breaking down the main idea of the WHOLE text. 
  • The main idea should be able to include ALL claims and evidence we've presented in our work.
  • It should be vague enough to cover everything but include a relevant message. 
  • Finding the main idea is the toughest part
3. Google Slide Deck 
  • There is a slide deck template for you in Google Classroom called "Performance Task: How to Succeed"
  • Your job is to complete the slide deck AND change the theme so it's personalized. 
  • I will show you your rubric in class and upload it here later:

4. Screencasting Tutorial 
  • You can get extra credit for screencasting your slide presentation and sharing them with me. 
  • If you get to a point where you are done with your slides early and want to aim for the extra credit, I highly encourage it. 
  • Here are the steps you should follow: 
    1. Go to Chrome extension store 
    2. Download Screencastify as an extension 
    3. Open up your slide presentation
    4. Click on the Screencastify icon in the top right of your screen 
    5. Allow access to the microphone and camera 
    6. Record your slides 
    7. Upload your video straight to Google Classroom 
5. SOAPSTone Form
  • Complete this SOAPSTone Form for Tough's text, "How to Succeed" 
  • You can work with people around you, but you are each responsible to fill in your own forms.
