In this lesson students use
video and a website to investigate the events leading up to and during those
“fourteen days in October.” Students work together to create a multimedia
presentation reporting the major events of the crisis. All students were
comfortable working with computers and had worked with the basics of
Hyperstudio prior to the lesson, so I modeled the new components – adding
video/sound and linking to other stacks. Several students quickly became
“experts” in Hyperstudio and they were able to provide support to their
classmates. Students worked in pairs to facilitate learning. They worked
on the presentation over a period of time, using both their lab time and
classroom computers so we were able to ensure that all groups had time to
complete the assignment. A rubric is provided for assessment. |
