E.1.+Independent+Research+Project

In our unit study of the ocean through the concept of __systems__, I had one student who really got interested in studying a certain fish, the Portuguese Man-of-War. I allowed her to do an independent research project, and she decided she wanted to make a PowerPoint presentation to share with her class about her research. Her homeroom teacher graciously allowed her to work on this project during her class, when she completed her work early.  We created a learning contract so that she knew exactly what was expected of her.  I also gave her a rubric for a PowerPoint presentation when she started the project. Here is her final project! I was so proud of her, and she had a great time in her study. Home
