is the audience?
· The
audience for this project are 7th grade students, homogeneously
grouped. The students are not leveled
and of various learning abilities.
2.
What
do they need to learn?
· Goal
o
To produce a digital story
describing the events of the Persian War
· Objective
o
Find an app that will allow the
students to tell the story of the Persian war in a digital format
o
Ensure the story identifies the
timeline of major events that characterize the Persian War
o
Limit the length of the production
to less than 5 minutes and more than 3 minutes
3.
Create
a concept map based on preliminary research
· Products
of a series of brainstorming sessions, and are the starting points for the flow
charts providing clear directions for the production of the product
4.
What
are the delivery options?
· Drop
box
5.
What
constraints exist?
Time can become a factor.
The students are of various learning styles and ability level. Unified completion of the activity is
unlikely. Incorporation of additional
detail to product will become needed as due date approaches
The students are between the ages of 11-12. The students will chose which app will work
best for the project then use an Apple iPad to complete the project.
6.
What
will the students do to determine competency?
o Students
will have to complete the required reads and the worksheets that accompany
them. Students will complete a timeline
comic strip exercise. Students will
complete a postcard from both the perspective of the Persians and the Greeks as
if it was composed during or after one of the 4 main conflicts of the Persian
War. Students will take a quiz.

must submit a completion sheet at the end of each class. The sheet is a Google
form that will be posted on my web page via a hyper link. A checklist will be
provided to students so they can check off items when they have satisfactorily completed
them.
9.
What
are the pedagogical considerations?
Students

Interesting project. It seems very do-able; Do you plan to actually use it in your class? Also, I really like the look of your concept map. What program did you use?
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of having students complete a sheet after each class. It gives them a way to self monitor as well as a way for you to monitor. It also allows the students to have independence and do thing their way but still be responsible for tasks. I also love the idea of doing this for a topic such as the Persian War. It makes an event that they may have trouble connecting with, more real.
