LESSON PLAN FOR TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2009
Today I am away at FRIM (the Forestry Reserve in Malaysia) with the 7th graders, so you have a substitute for the day. You have two tasks which you should complete. We hope to finish the wiki by this week -- so you should spend some time reflecting on where you are at -- and then work to finish your wiki.
FIRST, Log onto your BLOG and reflect on your work thus far on your wiki. Include specific contributions to your wiki which you have completed, and what you still need to do.
I should see which section (introduction, communication, business, entertainment) you think is the strongest, and which section you think is the weakest. I should also see you reflect on some (at least three) of the key requirements. You may want to look at the rubric to ensure you are on the right track.
PURPOSE: Our wiki has a clear purpose. Every part of the site enhances the purpose.
INFORMATION: Our wiki covers content that is important for the purpose. Our information is thorough, balanced, and fair.
SOURCES: We get information for our wiki from a variety of credible sources. Readers can easily find out where we found our information.
CREATIVITY: We include surprising and original insights, ideas, language, and multimedia features to support our wiki’s purpose.
COLLABORATION: We discuss our ideas and agree on the major components of our wiki. We respect each others work by offering support and constructive criticism. We agree on any changes that we make to the wiki before we make changes.
PAGE ORGANIZATION: Each page in our wiki thoroughly describes a section of our topic. We effectively use headings and subheadings to help readers find what they are looking for.
LINKS: All the links on our wiki work, are appropriate for our audience, and relate to the purpose of our site.
LANGUAGE: We use powerful, concrete, and accurate words on our wiki. We use a minimum of technical language and include definitions, when appropriate.
CONVENTIONS: We have no errors in spelling, capitalization, grammar, punctuation, or sentences.
Your blog post will be graded based on this criteria.
------------------------
THEN, when you finish your blog post, spend the rest of the class quietly improving your wiki. You should focus on making it look professional, ensuring that you have all of your sources documented, and that your ideas are creative and interesting.
