The day after the Fair Wind, Student-Driven Research Projects.
Must think about how student groups can help with the research project.
Grouping for technology, presentation, grammar, spelling
Students walk their groups through the process just like I did. How can they present to each other best? What is the purpose of presenting, and how can they help each other?
Are there any holes in the intro of the topic? Have they missed something important? Are their questions progressing as the presentation continues? Is the real world connection present, and does it add to the presentation? Word choice? Colors? Fonts?
Does the presenter show evidence of research?
What questions would you ask after the presentation? Where would you go?
Rethink your positions and logic:
I want students to rethink their positions on world events.
to challenge what they know & believe, to show them that they are not even aware of how much they don't know about something in the news, something they already have an opinion of.
This may open their eyes to the global nature of our lives. I want them to see the refugees as people - people with different cultures, religions, ideas, opportunities. They should see that those people are also our people, and those people need us/to join us in seeking solutions to the very real problems we face - environment, education, food, not fleeing violence, missing school, having to think only of survival.
