- Description of a method of understanding prior-knowledge of students.
- Discussion on the importance of establishing anchors for a project.
- Description of several ways to assess what students learned during the project.
- Discussion on how concepts in this chapter relate to your topic/project.
According to the book one way you can access students prior knowledge is by the use of a KWL chart. This directly tells the teacher what students know about the topic, what they want to know and what they have learned. Anchors are important for understanding what students know and how they will progress through the unit.
Several ways to assess students is by creating a final form of assessment that requires them to synthesize the information. You can have them work on a writing project or create something like a portfolio that they would potentially have to do in the future. This chapter relates to our project because we will have to create a form of assessment for our web page.
A KWL chart does seem like an effective way to activate students background knowledge. Great Post!
ReplyDeleteI like how you posted the questions from the class schedule. It seems to have kept your writing brief but completely relevant. Nice work!
