PROJECT
\nUsing a real life question or problem, children design an investigation and representation of their findings to present the audience for which they decide. <\/p>\n

MATERIALS NEEDED:
\nComputers, chart paper, blank books, poster board, trifold presentation boards, books on questions or problems children choose, access to various media (library, online books and information) <\/p>\n

STEP ONE: Let children know we are going to be spending some time observing our school and\/our community to identify questions and\/or problems we notice to try to find the answer to our questions or solutions to our problems. <\/p>\n

Ask children if they have any questions or have noticed any problems that need solved. Script what they say on chart paper for all to see. <\/p>\n

EXAMPLES MAY BE: <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t like the stop light in the cafeteria and I don\u2019t think it works anyways. I would like to find out. <\/p>\n

I wonder which month is the most common birthday month for students in our school?<\/p>\n

What do teachers have to do to become a teacher? <\/p>\n

Why don\u2019t we have more non-fiction books in our classroom library? I would like more nonfiction books. <\/p>\n

STEP TWO: For one week leading up to the unit, ask children to be very aware of their school and community and come up with at least three questions they would like to find the answers to or problems they would like to find solutions to. Assign this as homework so parents and families can share in the discussion. Schedule 30 minutes of time per day for the children to simply observe with their clipboards and write down possibilities for topics. <\/p>\n

STEP THREE:
\nAsk children to take what they have come up with and choose three of their ideas and draw a symbol to represent the questions or problem. Then ask them to post these around the room. While 1\/2 of the class rotates around the room asking questions about the symbols and the \u201cillustrators\u201d stand at their work and explain the questions or problems they are considering. Then rotate so the other 1\/2 of the group can do the same. <\/p>\n

ASSESSMENT:
\nDuring this time it is very important that the teacher is observing all, both the presenters and observers or children rotating to decide upon groupings. The teacher needs to make sure each group has children who have their ideas developed and others who may not, if there are any in the group who still have very loosely developed questions or problems to solve. <\/p>\n

STEP FOUR:
\nDivide children into groups either by topic if there are common topics or levels of development of ideas. Let them know that each group is going to hear the ideas of all group members and then decide as a group which problem or question they will use. Show children the rubric for the project assessment and also go over the criteria for deciding which questions or problems may lend themselves to a more comprehensive project and presentation. <\/p>\n

STEP FIVE:
\nAt least 1.5 to 2 hours per day( can be split up through day) needs to be devoted to project planning and completion. The teacher will facilitate using questioning techniques with each of the groups throughout this time. Asking questions like:
\nWhat has your group decided to focus on?
\nHow will you collect facts about this topic?
\nHow will you collect opinions about this topic?
\nWhat questions does your group have about this topic?
\nHow will you represent your findings mathematically? <\/p>\n

Children will work to answer their questions and\/or come up with solutions to the problems they identify. They will decide how to represent their findings through a literature produce, mathematically, scientifically etc. <\/p>\n

Children will decide how they will present their findings given a few choices however keeping this open for other possibilities they may explore. Children will present at an evening gathering held with parents, community members and teachers. <\/p>\n

Assessment: Observation throughout, group evaluation feedback, products the children create to represent their findings, presentation of the material<\/p>\n
