Day Two - Lesson Two
You may want to continue with other curriculum and
concepts being addressed until the due date for the
final projects, creating a time lapse between Days One
and Two. A written reminder of the due date should be
posted and verbal reminders given, with small progress
reports.
- Write the "Essential Aim" on the board and let students know
they must listen intently to their peers’ projects so they will be able
to address it.
- Distribute the peer rubric.
- Remind students that it must remain anonymous and you will be checking
them before the presenter sees them.
- Let the projects begin! You may want to invite another class to enjoy and
learn.
- After each project explanation or performance, allow students to ask questions
as they complete the evaluation.
- Collect evaluations. Make certain all are anonymous and appropriate (students
enjoy seeing their peer average scores on your own evaluation.) You might
want to return the evaluations to the students.
Summary
There should be a class discussion of the Essential Aim. Also, refer back to the
motivator and show what it was students initially knew. Compare and contrast that
with what they know now.
Extension
- Compare and contrast the aftermath and effects of the Great Chicago Fire
of 1871 with Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans in 2005.
- What types of disasters, both natural and man (or cow) made, might occur
in your own geographic area? Predict how your community would respond.
