On Monday we will be reserving time for you to work on an INQUIRY lesson. Your projects will be due on 6/14. I am leaving the door open for WHAT you want your kids to CREATE, but they must be led to create something. You will be creating a model as well. Your inquiry project MUST include some type of composition project that is multimodal. You will be responsible for
- Creating an assignment sheet online to get the kids started. Directions, objectives, links, procedures, expectation.
- The RUBRIC, which will guide and facilitate your kids towards the end goal. Your rubric should include the final product, traditional literacies and anything else you want to "grade". More importantly it should allow them to "see" what is important and help them create a fantastic project.
- Creating the PRODUCT. This is the "acquisition" that GEE was writing about, while it can be frustrating, you will acquire skills as you create. The model should be a stellar example for your kids to strive for.
Here are some sample choices....... Remember while we will be making a product, the goal is to facilitate students.......
- comic book
- pod cast
- social networking project
- powerpoint (with flow (music, movement, video)
Please post your initial idea with a curricular rationale by the weekend. Any resources you can bring to class to aid your project will come in handy.
- create a website
- any online web 2.0 composition based product
