Student Goals will be to:
Learner Task:
What are you going to ask your learners to do/perform/create to indicate that they've learned what you wanted them to learn? An oral presentation? A letter to the President? A HyperStudio representation of a tidal pool? A simulated diary of a pioneer?
The culiminating task in this project might be...
to plan a week-long surfing safari that visit surfing spots in San Diego County that they believe will have the best swells, based upon the knowledge they have gained in their investigation of winds, currents, shorelines, and tides.
Resources:
What websites have you already identified that might be useful? What books, tapes and other offline resources do you know about?
Resources for this project idea might include....
When you're done
drafting your idea, erase all the green text prompts, and save the
file under an appropriate name like tide-investigation.html. Your
instructor or one of the mentors will collect it for you and it will
be posted on the symposium website in a day or two.
