The lesson plan splits a class of 20 8th grade students from West Virginia into groups. Half of each group will research and write an essay on global warming using a webquest, while the other half will turn the essay into a speech to present to the class. Students will use computers, flashcards, printers, paper, and pencils. The teacher will check the internet connection and materials before explaining the assignment and requirements. Students will work collaboratively in groups to research, write essays, and give speeches, and then discuss and reflect on what they learned from each other's presentations.
