Students
All the students show substantial improvement. I feel the
outstanding improvement was due to the motivation and interest
the students had in this subject matter. They also had very little
prior knowledge of Ancient Egypt.
Revisions
After going over the rubric with the
students I found that it could have
been more detailed in the explanation
of the criteria. The student were very
confused at first.
Summary
This project used technology to enhance and expedite
the learning of my sixth grade class. The time used on
the internet was very valuable tool. It allowed the
students a much boarder base of research. This project
would have taken much longer and been quite
frustrating for students who were trying to find
information available at an elementary school site.
Summary
Continued
Creating a lesson using the History-Social Science /World
History and Geography: Ancient Civilization standard for my
grade level and relating it to my subject matter, Ancient Egypt,
was unproblematic. I would advise others who attempt this
process to use a timeline theme as their first try at this process.
I have learned a great deal from this project. I plan to share
what I have learned with my fellow colleagues.
