NC Falcon: Module 2
West Iredell High School
Goals for this Module

Understand how to develop clear learning
targets.

Understand how to define the student’s
criteria for success.

How to prevent misconceptions of the
target and criteria.
Clear Learning Targets
From Algebra I: 2.02 Use the parallelism and perpendicularity
of lines and segments to solve problems
I can determine parallel and perpendicular
lines and use them to solve problems.
Clear Learning Target
•“I can”
•Student Friendly
•Can be taught is a few
lessons
Most of the work is already completed. Our essential statements, “I
can” statements, have been established for many years.
How does our “I can” statements match the state’s definition of a clear
learning target?
In what area are we most “out of sync” with the state definition?
Criteria for Success
From Algebra I: 2.02 Use the parallelism and perpendicularity
of lines and segments to solve problems
I can determine parallel and perpendicular
lines and use them to solve problems.
I will be able to use the slope of linear
equations to identify the lines as parallel,
perpendicular, or intersecting.
I will be able to find the equation of a line that
is parallel or perpendicular to a given line
when told a point my line must pass through.
I will be able to use parallel or perpendicular
lines to solve word problems.
Clear Learning Target
•“I can”
•Student Friendly
•Can be taught is a few
lessons
Criteria for Success
•Focuses on what
students will do during
the learning process
•Provides an
understanding of what
quality work will look
like
•If the student masters
the “I will” statements,
will they have
mastered the “I can”
statement?
Correcting for Misconceptions
From Algebra I: 2.02 Use the parallelism and perpendicularity
of lines and segments to solve problems
I can determine parallel and perpendicular
lines and use them to solve problems.
I will be able to use the slope of linear
equations to identify the lines as parallel,
perpendicular, or intersecting.
Given points P(7, 5), Q(8, 3), R(0, —1), and
S(—1, 1), which statement is true?
A. Line PQ is parallel to line RS.
B. Line PQ is perpendicular to line RS.
C. Line PR is perpendicular to line QS.
D. Line PR is parallel to line QS.
Solution:
The slope of line PQ is -2/1.
The slope of line RS is -2/1.
The slope of line PR is 6/7.
The slope of line QS is 2/9.
Since the slopes of line PQ and line RS
are the same, those lines are parallel.
The correct answer is A.
