- #7: Before posting the slide, ask the question and have those tables discussing the question to answer.Because this is your studentOn the go, bombarded by visual images, creative, thinks outside the box, connected, active
- #8: And the fact that:With real world concepts students see recognize the relevance between classroom learning and real world, answering the question “why am I learning this.”When the same concept is approached from different points of view it engages the brain in a different and high levelsThe brain thrives on connections. Life is not divided into neat little blocks of time called science, math, reading, writing, social studies, and recess Authentic activities are always integrated
- #9: Traditional: One subject area, connections to other disciplines are haphazard,rare, and unnecessary forcompletion of projectParallelTwo or more relatedsubject areas aligned orsequenced together,connections are madeapparent throughout theproject, but products andPerformances may be separateInterrelatedTwo or more subject areasaligned and drawn uponduring project, knowledgeand skills from all areasare used by students toproduce quality products orPerformancesIntegratedTwo or more subject areasAre brought together through examinationof a complex idea, impossible to completethe project without using all areas,nearly impossible to separate out discipline
