Fossil Fuel…I’ve mined my files my files to uncover a lesson, project or unit that has the capacity to sustain a concept-based, competency-driven curriculum infused with instructional strategies and assessment practices that promote deep learning.

Tonight’s Lead Story in Verona…Your group is the editorial team for Verona News Now, the number one TV news in Verona. Your task is to research and write the late-breaking news story for tonight’s show. This is of course the death of Mercutio.
You will need to have a newscaster present the story with live feeds from reporters on the scene and interviews with witnesses. Your newscast, interviews and reports will be written and presented in modern English but all the material will come from the play. You will need to work together to assign roles and responsibilities for this presentation.
It is important that you understand that the Verona News Now is owned by the Capulet family. They insist that any news that deals with the feud between the families is slanted in favour of the Capulets.

How is evidence of learning being documented, and by whom?
