Summary
After students finished studying a unit on Ancient Rome, they were given a choice of projects in which they could show their aquired knowledge on the subject. Students chose from creating Keynote presentations, Making pottery or any other ancient roman artifact, creating a skit to be video taped, posters, or any other idea approved by the teacher. The ITRT will come in and video tape any groups which may need to be filmed. When the projects were complete, students were allowed to share with the class and were displayed for the school to view.
TIPC Ratings
This lesson is approaching with research. Students had to find their own sites using a portaportal or research materials from the library. If falls short of ideal because students did not cite their sources. .
This lesson is approaching in collaboration. Students do communicate using digital tools but students do not set future goals on what they can do or synthesis the information as much as they should.
This lesson is developing with critical thinking. Although the students have to think about what Ancient Rome would be like, they didn’t generate more ideas or have to come up with solutions to solve an authentic task.
This lesson is ideal with creativity and innovation. Students created true original work and took risks that it may not have turned out the way they wanted. They also reflected on each others work.
