Irene is creating an open educational project for her Master's degree in Bilingual Education. The project is titled "Living Things and Non-Living Things" for first graders, linking the subjects of natural science, arts, and literacy. She plans to turn the project into a collaborative one using cooperative work in groups. Students will complete and personalize mini dictionaries about living and non-living things in their groups. Irene will assess students based on following instructions, their group work, social skills, and their personal science books.
