The student will hopefully master this skill and be able to assist their team members, thereby relieving the teacher of continual cries for help. Students write initial reflective piece on topic, and create illustration. Some or all of this is good material for the student's author page. Students develop web site story board identifying specific pages to be included and how they will be linked. Students research team topic using Internet, CDs, videos, oral interviews, and traditional printed resources.
Students attend field trips.
Students create scrapbook of project process. Students create team pages using web authoring software. Students review and complete KWL charts and celebrate once the site is uploaded and online. Students write final reflective piece. Our class painted a mural for our school as an offshoot of this project, but that's a whole other project in itself, and not one I'm addressing here.
