This next section is going to ask you to look at an example of a performance task through the lens of cognitive rigor.  While this exercise can be done alone, it is more effective if you can go through it with one or two other people.  Feel free to connect with someone from your PLC or community of practice or any other colleague.  It is a great opportunity to share your learning!

Start by watching one of the following videos.  The first is from a math classroom while the second is from a social studies class.  In either case, it will be helpful to have the appropriate cognitive rigor matrix open or even printed.
