Practice: | Students work alone or in groups to take notes/answer essential questions, and then to present that information in the format of their choice. |
Accommodations: | Use of multiple intelligences-maybe spoken information, written, drawn, etc. Choice of performers and project partners. |
Checking For Understanding: | Check artifacts along the way (as they are created) and pose additional questions to students. |
