Train students on the use of search engines and possible keywords for conducting searches. Gathering Information Students gather information using the above resources and document prices and sources on their category sheets. I had students give several short speeches in which they described what they had done so far and what they still had to do. The class was encouraged to ask questions to help clarify and guide each others' projects. Sorting and Analyzing Information Students complete accounting sheets for each major category listing the item purchased, the quantity desired, the unit price, the total price, and the source.
Students keep a record of the total amounts spent for all categories.
Students keep a record of the total amounts spent for all categories. Students create a visual aid to help present the project. Students give a 5 minute report to the class describing their projects. I also evaluated each student.
