Choose a 4-week unit of study for a specific Common Core or state standard or your grade level or content area. Write a brief summary of your selection to provide context.

Identify at least three essential elements of the Common Core or state standard for the unit. Deconstruct the standard to reveal three specific learning targets.

Create a pre-assessment and evaluation instrument that measures student proficiency on objectives targeted, such as a criterion-based rubric with a proficiency scale or an answer key, and explain the purpose of the pre-assessment for the unit.

Create a single formative, interim assessment that is composed of 10 selected items (binary choice, multiple choice, and matching) and three constructed response items based on the unit content, learning targets, and length of the instructional unit. Include the answer key for selected response items. Describe how the interim, formative assessment would assist in planning instruction.

This week\’s environmental controversy focuses on the question: should Immigration into the US be reduced? Review the background information. Then, using the References along with resources from your own research, write a 1-2 page response to the questions that follow. Remember to cite your sources using proper APA format.Background Information Legal and illegal immigration into the United States is discussed in your textbook. Advocates of liberal immigration argue that both legal and illegal immigrants are needed to perform difficult and low paying jobs that most citizens won\’t take. Advocates also sympathize with immigrants because many of them are fleeing poverty and tyranny in their homelands. Immigrants pay taxes, help to support the US social security system, and contribute to American society.Opponents of immigration include individuals that want to ban or significantly reduce all immigration, and those that simply want more stringent efforts to end illegal immigration. Opponents argue that current immigration policies and border patrol methods are too lenient and allow terrorists to infiltrate into the US.Two short articles identified below have very different views on the impacts of illegal immigration on state economies. Use these references along with resources from your own research to help answer the questions that follow.Questions How do the views presented in the articles differ? How does illegal immigration both hurt and help state economies? Do you feel that the author\’s of these two articles are ignoring each others side, or is it possible that the Illinois economy is simply better equipped to absorb illegal immigration? Before answering this final question make sure to consider the affiliations of the authors.
