= Standard 7 Teachers are able to plan different kinds of lessons. = The teacher organizes and plans systematic instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, pupils, the community, and curriculum goals. Evidence 1: Claymation Activity media type="file" key="Claymation.mp4" width="300" height="300" Rationale 1: This activity allowed the students to use what they knew about the continents and their shift, and demonstrate their understanding in a creative way. I was able to show them examples that I created with claymation. This modeling allowed the students to understand what was expected from them in this project.

KSD 7.K.1 The teacher understands learning theory, subject matter, curriculum development, and student development to plan instruction and to meet curriculum goals based on content standards. This claymation activity allowed students to demonstrate their understanding of the content standards.

7.S.2 The teacher plans for learning opportunities that recognize and address variation in learning styles, learning differences, and performance modes. Since not all learners are able to demonstrate their understanding on tests, this claymation activity was another mode for them to show what they have learned. My kinesthetic learners especially excelled in this project.

7.D.1 The teacher values both long-term and short-term planning. This activity was part of a large unit. It was substituted as an alternate assessment for students who did not perform well on their formal test.
