Process
This project will take approximately 10 class sessions depending on the level of detail you want the students to provide in their final presentation. Sessions can be taught on separate days or may be combined into one longer instructional period depending on the needs of the students.
Divide students into teams of 3-4. Each team will work together on all three phases of the project. Provide each team with a folder containing the following:
[ilink style=”download” url=”http://allaboutexplorers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/WebQuest-student.pdf”]Printed instruction packet for the project[/ilink]
[ilink style=”download” url=”http://allaboutexplorers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/DataChart1.pdf”]4 copies of Big6 Data chart for Phase 1 (2-sided)[/ilink]
[ilink style=”download” url=”http://allaboutexplorers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/DataChart2.pdf”]4 copies of Big6 Data chart for Phase 2[/ilink]
[ilink style=”download” url=”http://allaboutexplorers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/DataChart3.pdf”]4 copies of Big6 Data chart for Phase 3[/ilink]
[ilink style=”download” url=”http://allaboutexplorers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/WQRubric.pdf”]1 copy of the project rubric[/ilink]
Collect this folder at the end of the project as part of the lesson assessment.
