For our first major research project this year, the students of Room 24 studied Native American tribes and how they compared with each other based on the area they lived in. The students chose two tribes to study. The requirements for this project was to research the tribes, write a comparison essay, and give a speech on their research paper. This was a HUGE project that consisted of doing tons of research on-line, using Google docs to type their reports, and some students even created art and a slide show to go with their presentations! The students had a month to work on this. It was very nice to see and teach the students to utilize technology to complete this project. I created Google accounts for each student at the beginning of the year. They were required to type their essay and share it to me via Google Docs. They also peer edited from our Chromebooks. I love seeing the end products and especially, the process the students took to complete this project.
