 * **Performance Task (Summary in G.R.A.S.P.S. form):** **(T)** ||
 * **Goal:** Create a fictional persuasive story that will convince others to change their ways.
 * Role:** You are a 22nd century author sent from the future in hopes to alter what is happening in your home of 22nd century Maine.
 * Audience:** You will send your plea from the future to the American teens of 2010-- they are the future of this country, after all.
 * Situation:** You have been transported to Maine in 2010 so that you can convince its citizens to change their ways (on a controversial topic of your choice)so that your home of 22nd century America may be a more peaceful place.
 * Product/Presentation:** Use Garageband to make a podcast of the story you completed so that it can be sent all over the United States (perhaps further) so your life and your listener's future country will be a more peaceful place. After you think your podcast is effective enough, post your podcast onto the 21st website PodBean, if done with enough emotion this website could make your podcast go viral!

 * Student Self-Assessment and Reflection**
 * **Self-Assessment** **(SA)** ||
 * • Pre-Assessment: Pick a topic of your choice and write a short (non-graded) persuasive piece. (This will give me an idea of how many students know how to effectively write a persuasive piece before I teach the lesson.)

 * **Understanding** || **Goal (MLR)** ||

 * **Task Description:** **(T)** ||
 * You are a 22nd century author in a world of hate and constant warfare. The president has picked you to go back in time--to 2010-- to try to resolve the issue (of your choice) before it turns into complete disaster! You will make a fictional yet persuasive narrative that reaches the "future" of America- citizens aged 13 to 19. Your end result will be a podcast announcing your (now digital) story. Your completed podcast will be posted to the website PodBean where the internet will hopefully take your story and make it viral. If you are successful your story will touch the hearts of many, sparking them to alter their ways and thus alter your home in the 22nd century! Hope for the best and good luck! ||
