Improving Maternal Health Fight for Life http://www.who.int/making_pregnancy_safer/videos/en/index.html This site is also from the World Health Organization (WHO). While not a lesson plan, this site provides access to a series of eight videos (provided in streaming wmv format) that can be viewed from the site or downloaded to your computer. The videos, all running about 23 minutes in length, are from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and include stories on women in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bolivia, India, Malawi, Moldavia, Mongolia, and Uganda. Computers will need a free Windows Media Player 9 to play these clips. If your computer does not have Windows Media Player, the site provides a link where it can be downloaded, again at no charge. These stories provide an excellent insight into the lives of women in the respective regions. The site also provides information on the other "health related" Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) namely Reducing Child Mortality and Combating HIV/AIDS, Malaria, and other Diseases. These two MDGs were featured in past issues of WorldBeat. Please check our Past Issues section for more information. As always, teachers should preview this material beforehand to determine its suitability for specific student groups. Without restricting the generality of the above, these videos may be useful in grade 12 Psychology, Unit 2: Prenatal Development. Curriculum Objectives Psychology 30, Unit 2: Prenatal Development
Evaluation Links Saskatchewan teachers have been provided support resources for student assessment and evaluation from the provincial ministry of education, Saskatchewan Learning. Specifically, teachers have been provided with the document Student Evaluation: a Teacher Handbook, in print format. Chapter 4 on specific student assessment techniques contains a variety of ready-made rubrics, rating scales, checklists, portfolio set-ups and templates that could be adapted to each task developed in your classroom. This resource is available on-line at: http://www.sasked.gov.sk.ca/evergreen/policy/studeval/chap4001.html. The simple templates outlined on this Saskatchewan Learning site, will help you tailor your assessment to match any activity and ensure that your objectives are being met. Another source of easily adaptable evaluation material is Discovery School located at http://school.discovery.com/schrockguide/assess.html. The site has both subject specific evaluation tools and evaluation instruments for process oriented tasks. You will also find rubric builders, portfolio evaluation instruments, graphic organizer evaluation strategies, etc. all at this site. Another rubric generator can be found at http://www.teach-nology.com/web_tools/rubrics/. And, for a discussion on the value of using rubrics in the middle grades, teachers may want to go to http://www.middleweb.com/rubricsHG.html. |
