Monitor Ongoing assessment(s): Students will be monitored to ensure that they are finding and using appropriate information. The students will also be monitored to ensure that they are citing their information and photographs appropriately. Accommodations and extensions: Extensions may be provided if the students are impacted by delays in school schedules or activities. Students will be grouped so that there are both high level learners and low level learners in each group. This is done to ensure understanding of the activities. Every student will be expected to be an active participant and to show exactly what their participation was. This will be documented in the journal. Backup plan: Technology facilitates the plan but print materials and nondigital materials can be used to complete the lesson Lesson reflections and notes: The students will be able to provide feedback by completing rubrics for completed projects.
