ATL skills Description

Organization skills are crucial in maintaining effective self-management and optimizing


information literacy skills. To reinforce these skills, we will employ specific strategies and
provide valuable feedback as part of a summative assessment on research topics.

An explicit teaching strategy will involve a dedicated session to explore best practices for
organizing and managing information effectively, whether in physical files or digital notebooks.

We will engage students in a discussion regarding their preferences for note-taking methods:
written or online. They will reflect on why one method might work better for them than the other,
encouraging them to make informed choices that suit their individual learning styles.

We will encourage students to process data critically and report results in a clear and concise
manner, emphasizing the importance of citing sources and presenting data ethically.

Research will be a key focus, and students will be guided on how to search for, evaluate, and
use sources in their research projects.

Additionally, we will teach students to discern credible sources from unreliable ones, further
enhancing their information literacy skills.

In the introduction of the unit, students will live an experience of creating a Mobius Strip, after
two demonstrations guided by the teacher, they will design a third experiment for which they
will formulate a hypothesis. Students will formulate a hypothesis with the format of "If x, then y."
They will be required to test this hypothesis. The hypothesis will be handed in to the teacher.

After this, students will report results and findings as well as their conclusions, this will help us
practice the ATL of processing data and reporting results. This report will be handed in to the
teacher.
