2. My students are beginning to get restless
towards the end of the week. The football
team is in the state championship this year,
and the big game is this weekend. Needless
to say, students’ minds are elsewhere.
3. Today my students will not be learning any
additional material. We will review then head
to the computer lab for group work.
4. My method for this day includes group
collaboration and computer work. This will
attract the hands-on and social learners.
This will also give students a chance to be
competitive in a fun way.
5. My students will have the chance to ask any
questions they may have about anything we
covered in previous days. After we address
those issues, we will once again head to the
computer lab. Students will sit with their
teammates. They will each be doing a
WebQuest on Fantasy Football. Some steps
in the WebQuest have been covered in
previous days to save time (creating teams
and getting players). The students will work
on WebQuests individually, but they will be
able to collaborate with their teammates to
test their answers.
6. Students will be required to do their own
WebQuest or they will not receive a grade for
the day. This assignment must be completed
by the beginning of class on Friday, but
students can access it from home as well.
7. I will observe as the students do their
WebQuests to see how well they understand
it, and whether or not I believe it is effective.
These results will determine whether or not I
use this WebQuest again.
