All students will apply knowledge, ideas, and issues drawn from texts to their lives and the lives of others. All students will define and investigate important issues and problems using a variety of resources, including technology, to explore and create texts. Review 2 or 3 of these sites that deal with the history and culture of Blues music. Search for information that is not only new to you but would be of special interest to others. Bookmark that source and be prepared to explain the discovery in your own words.
Students conduct a self-discovery of information.
Based on their ability, they will discover as much or little from these resources. There is no pressure to get a certain amount of information, but to explore, experience, and therefore learn. This non-pressure atmosphere was very successful for students regardless of their ability. What each person found was valuable. As a facilitator, I assist students who have difficulty navigating through sites such as accessing sound clips and returning to the main browser window containing the Part One page of links.
