The students may not understand the linking of several concepts to one lesson. Student and teacher alike will be new at using the WebCT and collaboration maybe difficult, but we will give it a try. Please see above goals they are written, as a set of activities the students will be completing. The community will be used as the students make their trip to the grocery store. We have already visited the store several times and the owners of the grocery store are familiar with my students and myself.
Students learn to shop independently and compare prices for best shopping.
Collaboration with design team members will be done through WebCT within the forum. Progress will be shared on an as needed basses. Students will use email and WebCT to collaborate on an as needed bases to share information gathered pertinent to the unit. By sharing information depth will be added to the lesson because they know other students are counting on them to complete a project and explain how it enhances another students learning.
