Mike Karabinus reviewing Jessie Shipman [] Late Comments: Sorry. It looks good....specific and organized. I really like how you integrate tech into almost every lesson and I learned a couple of new ways to use it from you. I like your essential question. I think MOST people are essentially good.

Maybe add some comments about the other frameworks we discussed.

Jessie Shipman Reviewing: Nicole Deaver Google Doc URL: http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AfQudG6H1lMEZGR2eGY3NF8xNWZoOGI3M2Yz&hl=en Comments: I would consider doing something other than videotape to record your interviews. What about something like photobooth on a Mac or screencast-o-matic as a Web 2.0 application. I really liked the way that you incorporated and explained how you were using Marzano's as a framework and basis of your work. I think that your Essential Question is too specific. I think it is supposed to be something really broad, like how do human's communicate. IDK

Nicole Deaver Reviewed Unit Plan: Laura Wood https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0ATD2ReU3pfR3ZGozcHpzY18yN2hycmZzd2d2&hl=en Laura, I like that you have taken a lesson that is generally a boring and added new tools to grab the students’ attention and advance their knowledge. I like your essential question, if you choose to share it with the students I think it will get them excited about starting the unit. Suggestions: You could add additional unit questions to guide the students learning at the beginning of each subject area.

====There is a lot of effective tech use in your unit. I like that you’re using mind-mapping and interactive tools, such as Coveritlive. This unit lends itself to rich discussion, so I would be prepared to extend the amount of time allotted for each lesson. I know that you’re still in the planning stage for the “types of government” simulation and aren’t quite sure yet how to orchestrate it. You may want to try just giving the kids a simple task, such as playing a game of four-square for ten minutes, and keep that activity/goal the same for each type of government. That way there will be a “control,” and the kids may be able to clearly see how the way in which they are governed, and by whom, affects their ability to accomplish their goal. Great job! I’m excited to see how it goes!====

Pablo Benitez Reviewed Steve's pjoject: Hey Steve, I like your essential question...Why do people vote? But you may also try and explore with your students why some people don't vote. How would you use Bullworth in the class? Would you show a short clip from the film? I really like the political spectrum quiz as part of the activities. Some of these kids may have certain political opinions but might not be sure where they fall on the political spectrum. I think this activity is very meaningful. One thing I did notice however, I don't see when your students will address the content, unit, and essential questions in the unit. Are these imbeded into an activity? Otherwise, I think this is a great unit project.Great work!Pablo link to reviewscroll to bottom on page
