type: Project
The essence of the inquiry process is to ask questions
that stimulate students to think critically and to formulate their own
questions. Observing, classifying, using numbers, plotting graphs, measuring,
inferring, predicting, formulating models, interpreting data, hypothesizing,
and experimenting help students build knowledge and communicate what they have
learned.
Encourage students to research and script information
in a concise and informative manner, using PowerPoint, each student narrates
their presentation with their research.
Students prepare a script of the information they choose to include in
their project and they hand in their script along with their PowerPoint. They use music, video clips, charts and diagrams to share information about their topic. This allows them to present without the
pressure of standing in front of the class, many have enjoyed using this medium
and have done very well.
Each student had a rubric that listed the material
required in each slide and the total number of slides. I also allow students to rank the projects
they see to give me a better feel how the students perceive the task.
I think it has been successful and I continually
change and revamp to allow students the ability to learn more from their
research and presentation.
