S- Media and materials to be used will be a WebQuest, YouTube, Facebook, QR codes, and a
podcast and SecondLife.
U- Students will listen to the podcast and take notes. The WebQuest will be used to help
students gather information. QR codes will lead to sites about Amazonian climate and rainfall.
Students will create storytelling YouTube videos on the Amazon’s climate and upload them to
the class Facebook page. Students will travel to the Amazon via SecondLife.
R- Students will actively engage in the completion of the WebQuest and will collaborate with
peers to create the YouTube videos in groups of 3. Students will also be required to comment
on at least 2 other video posts.
E- Students will be evaluated on how much they contributed to the video project, the
information in the video, and whether or not they completed the WebQuest. Throughout the
lesson, I will evaluate if I should change the media used by determining if it is effective in aiding
the students’ learning.
