Innovative+Project

I would like to do a project with my 2 groups of 9th graders (very small groups for 9 weeks each group) exploring various music sites found on go2web20. The students would rate the sites as to their interests from best to worst and also compare and contrast similar sites. Through the use of WIkispaces we will post and share information from each student. A checklist will be generated for grading purposes.

 * Materials needed**: laptop computers with personal headphones - internet access


 * Objectives:**
 * TSW discover the many free music sits available for use
 * TSW rate the sites visited from best to worst (personal opinion)
 * TSW compare and contrast similar sites using a graphic organizer
 * TSW share what they have learned through a classroom wiki
 * TSW give an oral report on on his/her findings
 * Possible display of findings in the music room


 * Procedure:**
 * TSW go to the go2web20 site and click on music on left side
 * TSW open up at least 10 of the sites on the pages displayed and explore each site, using a graphic organizer to write a brief summary of each
 * TSW listen to the available music from each site visited to determine their like/dislike of the site
 * TSW compare & contrast similar sites using a Venn Diagram
 * TSW post his/her findings to the class wiki
 * TSW follow a checklist to monitor progress made in the search and will self-assess using the checklist
 * After all students have completed the checklist, each will give an oral report on their sites & findings (ratings)

Using a checklist, each student will self-assess []
