Carolyn Wilhelm presents a creative and thought out lesson plan.
The learning activities are great. The students are doing hands-on work and using reading, writing and critical thinking skills.
I do not feel that this project has a very significant reflection of the students’ learning outcomes. Because the students work together in a group, it is hard to pinpoint what each student understood.
The instructions are clear and the procedure is easy to follow.
I feel that the resources in this assignment were a bit limiting. I would have liked to see the students bring in their own text. This would increase the creativity and variability. It would also introduce the students to research skills. Additionally, the use of technology would improve this project. Perhaps creating a video displaying the behind the scenes work that the students put in. It would be exciting to the students and give the parents a glimpse into the classroom.
I like the use of a rubric to assess students as this gives the students ability to express the effort they put it which is something that is often hard for a teacher to gauge on her own.
or if they cant bring i their own text, have a wider variety to chose from and incorporate scaffolds for the specific needs of the students
