Joe and I began developing formal lesson plan outlines for both the Madden Football Simulation (Grade 10 Business) and the Proportion , Ratios and Rate Unit (Grade 10 Applied Math). We utilized a lesson plan template provided by the ministry.
I began with the first two activities in the unit:
a) Ratio Webquest - where students were exploring proportion and ratios through a variety of websites.
b) Currency Powerpoint - where students utilized online calculators and MS powerpoint to create a Foreign Exchange presentation
Two more lessons remain before beging to develop our final report as a group which should be completed at the end of May.

April 19th Session
Marc and I continued to discuss options in tasks to stem-off of the Madden simulation. Thus far, Marc has found it to be a success in engaging students and reinforcing course concepts. We frameworked two additional DI activities to implement. In addition, we've completed the basic outline for each DI strategy implemented in our courses. The outline was based on the Contextualized Learning Activities that we completed for the High Skills Major Business Studies program at Holy Names Catholic High School. Our next area of focus will be the report due sometime in May.
