The document provides instructions for an ESL project where students will work in groups to create a glog (online blog) about a famous scientist. Each glog must include images, text, audio, and video about the scientist. Students can research scientists on specified websites or elsewhere on the internet. The glog will be evaluated based on visual presentation, use of required media types, accurate content about the scientist, appropriate English usage, and an oral presentation by the group. Famous scientists presented as options to research include Leonardo Da Vinci, René Descartes, Pythagoras, Alexander Graham Bell, and Albert Einstein.

This document provides guidance on conducting a literature search using bibliographic databases. It recommends starting with a topic, identifying keywords, searching different keyword variations and groups, using Boolean operators to link searches, and applying limiters to refine results. Key steps include brainstorming synonyms for keywords, searching in progressively broader groups, saving useful search results, and checking reference lists and citing papers of interesting finds.
To Build A Fire
The document provides discussion questions and topics about Jack London's short story "To Build a Fire". It asks the reader to think about what items they would want if alone in -50 degree Celsius temperatures in the Yukon Territory. Students are assigned to research topics like the author, the Yukon setting, frostbite, hypothermia, wilderness survival, and snow travel to present their findings to the class.
Finding Sources for Science, Technology, & Self
This document provides guidance on conducting academic research on topics related to technology and self. It outlines steps for students to define searchable keywords for their research topics, identify relevant databases, and learn advanced search techniques. Students are encouraged to brainstorm topics at the intersection of technology and areas like social justice, gender, or communication. The document demonstrates how to refine keywords, select an appropriate database, and search effectively using subject terms, filters, and search tips. Overall, it aims to equip students with skills for finding scholarly sources through database searches.
To Build A Fire
The document summarizes Jack London's short story "To Build a Fire" in three sentences or less:
The story describes a man traveling alone through the Yukon Territory when the temperature is fifty degrees below zero, and despite warnings from an old-timer and his own common sense, he fails to properly respect the freezing conditions and dies from hypothermia. The document provides discussion questions about the story, assigns research topics related to wilderness survival in the Yukon, and lists credits for the story text and accompanying images.

Finding Scholarly Sources for Food
This document provides guidance on finding academic sources for a research topic. It outlines steps for students to revisit evaluating sources, identify topics related to a food exhibit, define keywords, identify relevant databases, and conduct hands-on searches using advanced search techniques. Students are guided to brainstorm broader, narrower, and synonym keywords for sample topics of "Food and Cultural Appropriation" and "Food/Nutrition." They are also instructed to identify subject areas or disciplines related to their topics. The document aims to equip students with skills to effectively search databases and find scholarly sources for their research topics.

This document provides guidance for three activities in an art history module. The activities address the concepts of identity, how identity can influence artistic works, and analyzing how elements of a work and contextual information about the artist and time period influence meaning. Students are instructed to review questions about an artwork, discuss what identity means and how it can change or be multiple, and select a painting from an online museum to research and analyze how the artist's identity and context influenced the work's meaning.

Inventors
The document provides instructions for an assignment where students will work in groups to create a "glog" (blog) about an inventor or invention. Each group will research their topic using only English language websites and include mandatory media like images, text, audio, and video in their glog. Guidelines specify the glog should focus on daily life inventions, not well-known ones, and use vocabulary and structures studied in class. Students will present their glog orally and be evaluated on visual presentation, use of media, accuracy of content and English, and oral presentation skills. Suggested websites to research inventors and inventions are also provided.

The Importance of Our Five Senses
Students will research and explore how losing different senses such as hearing, sight, and smell can impact people's lives. They will look at resources available to the deaf, causes of blindness, and health risks from smell loss. Students will demonstrate their knowledge through published slidecasts with audio, comparing lives of those born blind or deaf to those who lost senses later. They will follow TEKS standards for language arts, science, and technology.
Kouprey
The student's work outlines how science is working to help the selected endangered Thai species of Kouprey. It identifies some conflicts between the Kouprey, environment, and humans. The work discusses the impact of supporting the Kouprey and presents required information in the correct format, including a research table. However, some key terms are used inaccurately and the bibliography requires improvement. This work would likely be assessed at Level 3.

This document provides instructions for students to evaluate the credibility of a source of biology information found on the open web. Students are asked to select a source on any biology topic, assess whether it is a reputable source of scientific information, and explain their evaluation in 250-350 words in an online forum post. The title of their post should reference the source using APA format. The goal is for students to develop their ability to navigate the large amount of information available online and identify high-quality scientific sources.My Webquest
The Webquest I have created incorporates technology and common software into a nature journal project. In this Webquest, students are asked to create a journal template and cover page using either Microsoft Word or Publisher. This template is then printed and ten two sided copies are made. It is on this template that the student will write detailed, reflective, nature journal entries that relate to topics in science. Five of these entries will be done in the "real world" and five of them will be inresponse to national geographic videos or virtual birder "birding breaks". this will allow stduents the opportunity to refelct on species and habitats in their own community and those in different places in the World. Once the entries are complete, the student will use Excel to create a table of contents that will accompany their journal. Finally, the student will create one slide in PowerPoint to accompany each of their journal entries. This slide can include digital photos they themselves took, or images found on the internet.
