Your Impressions
The students are learning a lot of information that they can take with them. There is a lot more to this project than just building a garden. There is different things that can be debatable in this project like where, how, and why should they put in a garden. | There are not enough roles for all the children in a class. The garden could not be planted depending on where the school is. There is no way to be creative. | |
Where is My Hero?
| It is a good project to prove that heroes do not have to superheroes. | Too many worksheets are used. Children will not remember the information about the person they read. There is nothing to analyze. Students can not take a stand on this topic to debate. |
There are different ways to let your ideas be heard. Even if a child gets a role he or she does not agree on they still have to research and find out why the person was the way they were. Also children are using the internet to research each role and other information that ties into the role. Letting the child act out their person is a great way to let them be creative. They have to make the class believe they are who they say they are. When a child gets involved in a project by acting or debating their side they are more likely to remember what they learned than they arefrom just memorizing it from a worksheet they did in class. | ||
| The children can be as creative as they want when they are coming up with a new ice cream flavor. | This is very narrow minded. The children do not learn anything other than how to make ice cream and work together. There is nothing that could be debatable other than the flavor of the ice cream. No technology is used. | |
The students can make the brochure look anyway they want too. While yes, they are assigned what to write about there are so many subtopics they could choose from. | The website looks sloppy and not as put together as the other ones. There are no sides to take on this project. The students are just finding the information and putting it in a brochure. They are not actually learning and remembering the information. |
Best: Grow School Greens, Where is my Hero? - The website had a nice layout, lots of links and visuals. They used groups in everything they did. There was somethings that was debatable in the project. It could be a short project or broken into different sections
Worst: Ancient Egypt, Ice Cream - The websites were either too boring or too loud. Both projects took more time than necessary to learn about the subject. There was nothing the students had to debate or take a stand on.
