These modified Earth in Space sheets were submitted by Alisha Taylor of the Graduate Teacher Preparation Program at Antioch University in Seattle. She says:
We found that students had more success following directions, performing learning activities, and completing assessments when they were scaffolded by a separate worksheet or data organizer rather than embedded in the Procedures section of the EIS student guide. I utilized the worksheet format to include remind students of group roles and expectations, outline
procedures, and pose pre-activity questions that asked students to make predictions. Space at the end was used to include graphs, tables, hypotheses developed, and reflection questions. These modifications were
especially helpful for our ELL students and lower readers.I have attached additional worksheets that I created as student assessments for EIS learning activities. Some are modifications of the “Procedures” and “Reflections” sections from the Student Guide and others were adpated from other sources. I am aware that most of the teachers currently using the module have completed Part One, but perhaps these materials will be useful for teachers that use the kit in the future. Please feel free to modify or reproduce these materials.
Here are the sheets, in Word format:
Also, here are some previously posted modifications for EIS.
