After working for a while, the groups reconvene to share their project ideas. Miss Power then explains that a rally has been arranged so the children will have a place to share their projects and hopefully educate others about the rain forest they are trying to save. The children are excited and want to know all the details. Before they begin the intensive project work, the children create a final assessment guideline which details what their projects should contain. Project work then begins.
Groups start to map out their projects.
A group working on designing a web page leave for the computer room to check out web pages on the Internet. Another group begins to compose a letter to Ms. Southerton to arrange for a time to come into the lab and obtain some research and pictures from the Internet. Other groups plan to utilize computers to type up portions of their projects. Some groups begin to focus on the division of research work. Throughout this process, the teachers move from group to group to check on progress and to facilitate if necessary.
