Unit 13 Capstone Project- This is my power point presentation of my course final project. It includes pictures of all things used in my project from the worksheets and activinspire screen prints to the movie and Moodle. I believe I explained in detail what I wanted and what I expected to result from this project. As stated above, this project was created to cover the unit on Civil Rights and the movement in American Studies with predominantly Junior level students. It is done in the second semester of the course which occurs in Spring and is typically one of the hardest times to keep the attention of the young soon to be Seniors. I think the way I handle the unti by displaying primary documents, pictures, and video clips helps keep there attention. The use of a scrapbook as the performance based assessment gives them the work to do and the details to follow. This again keeps their attention better than a group project. I wanted to use scrapbook cites but was turned down by the tech department at my school. They would not open mixbook.com. The students will use the programs on the laptops to create their personal scrapbook on their life of a civil rights activist. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me as the power point states. Thanks for a great course. Good luck to all...
