    • For a performance expectation(s), identify a possible performance task that would assess student learning around the performance expectation(s)
    ● Review grade level or subject area instructional sequences in the California State Framework Instructional Sequences
    ● Using a planning tool, take a look at the NGSS Unit of instruction to create Lesson Sequences that connect to Unit.
