Group2

Group 2- The students in my class have to practice independently researching topics. I want to put the students in groups of 2 or 3 to create a page about a woman who made a special contribution to the world for Women's History Month in March. I will provide them with grade appropriate web sites to do their research and a weekly Wiki planner to ensure that no one's work is erased. Not only will they have practice with their researching skills, it will teach organization, planning and time managment skills.

Earth Day- The students can create a collaborative Wiki post page in which they research ways to "live green". They may also create an invention that can be used in the future.

Collaborative storytelling is a great way to enhance writing in the classroom. Students will have fun and at the same time completely engaged in the activity.

Creating a citing sources link or page is an excellent idea to help with students' writing.

Having a book review page generated by the students is a great way to assess their understanding of specific genres, or character and plot development, while incorporating technology and writing skills.

Posting a United Streaming Video or You Tube clip with discussion questions is a great way to extend the classroom.

Using the wiki to submit or display a portfolio is also a great way for students to track their progress as well as the teacher. Also, if there is a reflection section, than this idea becomes extremely useful.
