- Keep up with the reading schedule in support of individual / team
progress
- Make 3
or more postings each week (two individual and one as a group)
- Post
1 = Choose a memorable quote or passage from your assigned reading
and give a thoughtful reaction to it (not summative of the reading) in 5
or more sentences. Then, tie in this passage to a real-life example (ie:
from music, media, history, personal experience, news related, etc.) with
5 or more sentences.
- Post
2 = Choose a social studies prompt to respond to using at least 5
or more sentences. The response should include text or media clip
references to material learned that week in S.S.
- Post
3 = Group post on experience thus far; tie-in to lit/history (insight in
understanding)
- Provide thoughtful, well-written reactions to reading and/or outside
connection material that will invite others to leave comments (or even
inspire blog entries of their own)
- Comment an average of 2 or more times per week on other student-group
blogs, other than their own, over the duration of 4 weeks (total: 8
comments minimum)
- Contribute to as many different blogs from the 13 student-group pages
during the 4 week project
- Support his/her team ‘editor’ (a role that rotates every week)
- Use and reference the Internet appropriately — including the content
of all entries, links, comments, and behind-the-scenes administration of
the web site itself
‘Editors’ will:
- Maintain the team’s blog (appearance, etc.) during the length of one
week
- Support individual requests and overview the publication of group
members’ entries, the validity of their content, and any wishes they have
concerning the actual web site itself
- Collaborate with Miss Tesmer about the publication of all links and
comments
- Encourage team members to maintain regular participation
- Keep an accurate team record (i.e. a spreadsheet) of all team members’
contributions to-date (kept in classroom)
Teams will:
- Successfully create a blog that demonstrates insight and analysis of selected
holocaust novel
- Create a unique ‘name’ and ‘look’ for the blog by the end of the
project (without it becoming a distraction in terms of the quality /
analysis of content that is published)
- Use other web tools (beyond the blog – like YouTube, photos, links to
news articles, other multimedia) to demonstrate a unique way to share
knowledge / discoveries
- Use class time and the computer lab use in an appropriate manner at
all times
- Present to the class as a group on 2 occasions what has been ‘learned’
and what has been ‘created’: 1) sometime during the process and 2) on the
final submission day
Miss Tesmer will:
- Create a working web site for all student-groups and Provide behind-the-scenes
technology support (and advice)
- Create a classroom/work environment that will allow students to
successfully work as teams and complete the overall project
- Carefully review all written submissions and suggested links and
remove submissions/other entries when deemed inappropriate
