Design and
implement a classroom project that requires students to 1) conduct their own
research on a student-driven topic; 2) ask, answer and assign meaning to
their own questions (including an overall project question; 3) collaborate
with other students (and teacher); 4) manage project resources; 5) collect
usable data (information) related to their project topic and display that
data; 6) arrive at conclusions about their project; 7) present their work to
the class on a regular basis; and 8) create a final multimedia product of
their project work. This task can be
part of your ‘place’ study work. Verification: Send a
summary to djtuck@home.com outlining how you designed and implemented these 8 tasks. |

Use a task
performance rubric that is clearly defined to monitor and assess student progress
through their place study investigations. Employ clearly defined regular
methods to assess student progress. Provide a method for students to assess
and evaluate their own project progress. You may use the Project-based Assessment
Rubric that is part of our Digital Tools
Assessment package if you want. Verification: Send a
summary of your assessment results, of the rubric if it is different that the
Digital Tools rubric, and a copy of any self-assessment rubric that students
use to djtuck@home.com |

Important Note: It is important to share our activities with other
participants and project staff. Most sharing will occur in one of two ways:
1) Send an image & short description of the task activity to davidt to be
posted in 'News' and/or 2) post your thoughts on the 'Discussion Corner'. |
