Description: Students
were given a choice of famous French people to research. Internet sites
were selected ahead of time by the teacher for students to use for gathering
information. Using a graphical organizer (Inspiration ®) students created
an outline which was then used to generate a final written report. Rubrics
were given to students for both the content and technology component
(graphical organizer). At the conclusion of the unit, students presented
their research to the entire class orally using their Inspiration ® product
as a visual display. Content Areas: Non-Native Language (French) Download Description, Examples of Student Works and Rubrics: Acrobat Standards: |
