Week 1.5

Growing Excellence (+10 for ALL) 

What's the point of DOK?
Mr. Daniels' IPC class starting the Bell Ringer
immediately after the bell rings.
Depth of Knowlege (DOK) was developed by Norman Webb to help educators define the skill to be mastered at the right level of thinking, and within the context or parameters that are necessary to demonstrate mastery. 

For planning purposes in the IU template, your daily DOK question should be written in such a way that students should be able to answer that question as a result of your daily instruction. In other words it should drive the other components of your lesson for that day, and the components of your lesson plan should lead all students to be able to successfully answer your DOK question by the end of class.

Need a link to DOK question stems?
Take this link and hyperlink it to your Master IU template in the cell called DOK 3 Questions and always have a shortcut in your IU template to help you write your DOK 2 and 3 questions.


 College AND Career 

Greg Morris, our new Ag teacher has come in and picked up right where we left off last year in Ag Mechanics and in our FFA program.  He is teaching our first ever dual credit course from Kilgore College in Welding, and he challenging our students to put their passion to work through projects.  Below is a tractor project in his class right now.  It is a 1927 McKormick Deering tractor, and it is being restored by several students who are being led by THS students, Jackson Howard and Cort Morris.  The students are hoping to take the tractor to competition at the Houston and San Antonio Livestock shows next semester.





 Google Me This  - Revision History

Lost something?  Go to revision history

If you ever wondered where something went or if someone messes up a file, don't sweat it.  Just go to the revision history and find the last time it was correct.

Step 1 - Click File (left)
Step 2 - Click See Revision History (left)
Step 3 - Look at the Revision History (bottom) and click each edit that has been made to your document and restore the file to the last place it was correct.

Side Note - The file will not save changes made after the date of the revision that you restore.
