Students will learn how humans impact the animal world. Students will utilize research skills to accumulate knowledge necessary to complete assignment. Students will share their research with students from other communities. This project meets the objectives outlined in the new California Standards for science, reading, writing and listening and speaking. Students will use the Internet, encyclopedias, books, and local environmental groups to research their endangered species.
Students also create video with music and sound.
By this time students will have had several months of experience using the technology necessary for completion of this project. Students will have 8 weeks to complete all components of this projects. Student projects will be assessed using the Challenge 2000 or a similar rubric. I will be looking at the Content, Collaboration, and Multimedia Aspects of the projects.
