Clothing 2 Sample Notebook

Student Prior Knowledge

The students take a pre-test at the beginning of the class. Students that have had little or no experience usually complete these samples. The other students complete samples that are at a beginning level.

Intended Learning Outcomes

The students need to be able to learn how to complete more advanced sewing skills. This gives them good practice so that when they later use these techniques on their projects they know how to perform them.

Instructional Procedures

Before having the students complete these samples, they learn about sergers and how to identfy serger parts. The students, in small groups, see a demonstration on how to complete each of these samples. Then when the students are completing the samples the teacher moves around the room and helps the students on a more indvidual basis. Aa sample notebook is also provided for the students so they can see how to do each of the samples step- by-step.

Strategies for Diverse Learners

Students in class who aren't able to speak any English are still able to master these samples. Because they see a demonstration, it helps them see what they are going to do. Also the students are provided with a sample notebook that shows them how to do each sample, step by step. This not only helps these students but many students as well.

Assessment Plan

In the sample notebook copy that I hand out to the students, I also provide the Rubric that I will use to grade the samples. That way the students can see what they will be assessed on and understand better what is expected of them. They are then assessed again when they complete their sewing projects through out the semester.
