Students benefit from experiences that foster skills of life-long learning. This Curriculum Based Assessment or Required Semester Project allows all students to use multiple skills and higher levels of thinking as they increase their knowledge, understanding, and experience regarding a significant topic.
Reminders:
This is a collaborative lesson taught by both the classroom teacher and the school librarian. Get in contact with your school librarian early to discuss scheduling and teaching responsibilities.
This document is a guideline for this lesson. If you need to make minor adjustments or changes to best suit the needs of your students or the resources in your building, please do so. If you have questions about the curricular requirements, please contact Barry Thomas.
