4. Inter-Disciplinary Project Work
(IPW) provides opportunities for
students to explore the inter-
relationships and inter-
connectedness of subjects.
Through the IPW curriculum,
students will be able to:
◦ source for information and apply it
critically
◦ improve oral and written communication
skills
◦ foster collaborative learning skills
5. Learners will understand
that…
…effective communication is
important to bring our ideas
across to our intended
audience.
…group processes are
necessary to work productively
and effectively in a team.
…it is important to discern the
validity of the information
gathered through verifying the
credibility of the source and
consulting multiple sources.

7. There are 5 Performance Tasks to be completed
over the course of Semester 1
Each Performance Task is further broken down to
a few components
8. Group facilitator: moderates discussions, keeps the group
on task, assures work is done by all, and makes sure all
have opportunity to participate and learn.
Timekeeper: monitors time and moves group along so that
they complete the task in the available time, keeps area
clean, assumes role of any missing group member.
Recorder: takes notes of the group's discussion and
prepares a written conclusion.
Checker: makes sure that all group members understand
the concepts and the group's conclusions.
