Also, this activity promotes observation and categorization skills, comparison, collaborative creative production, and time management. This lesson is set up for use in one or more classes with a minimum duration of one week. Students are divided into groups of four and given specific information to research. They analyze their findings and prepare a group presentation that is given to the rest of the class. The students are asked to research the information, organize it, and present it.
Creativity is encouraged.
The time frame can be established according to the resources available. A minimum of five hours of research is recommended. The content of this project allows it to be easily incorporated into several content areas. This lesson can be part of a larger project or stand alone as a project in itself. E-mail accounts for all students, if available.
