Interactions

1. For the unit introduction and chapter preview, we will be working together as a class. The teacher will identify topics for focus. 2. Students will work individually in taking the pre-test. 3. Students will work in groups of two for PowerPoint Research Projects. The teacher will offer guidance in topic selection and possible sources of information. 4. For Concept Maps, Cross-Curricular Activities, and worksheets, students may work together in small groups, but each student is responsible for turning in their own packet. The teacher will be available to explain each activity and offer guidance as needed. 5. Project groups will work together to Peer Review another group's project, to have their own project reviewed, and make constructive suggestions prior to final presentations to the class. 6. When projects are presented, all students will be attentive and be prepared to ask questions or make constructive comments. The teacher will assess projects using the PowerPoint Rubric.
