After a number of introductory activities including the Frayer Model vocabulary Google presentation, reference posters, and animal adaptation work, students chose reservations, and today we made a number of teams.
I shared a Google presentation template with each team to guide their work. And soon, I'll lead them through a step-by-step research process including the following steps:
- collecting facts
- creating Google maps
- using our endangered species website to research more facts and information,
- writing a script for presentation
- creating a one-minute commercial to teach others about their presentation (a teaser)
- creating a service learning project
As we work, I'm sure students will adapt the project in a number of ways to make it their own. In the meantime, I'll coach, mentor, and guide with respect to the research, collaboration, and presentation goals.
