Jack Walsh, Anderson Union High School Beowulf Project Revisions
After reviewing dataI realized that the studentsdid not do as well as I thoughtthey would. I decided to revise the rubric and thathelped a lot, but studentsdid not achieve at masterylevel as I had expected.
I reworked the rubric and added some vocabulary definitions.Then I rewrote the pre and post tests.

SummaryThis project helped me see how students might processinformation as they gather it from the web. We are becoming information gatherers and web projects are a good start opening the Internet to our students. I would further liketo explore the use of streaming video on a web site, placingmin-lessons for students who are sick or otherwise unableto attend the lesson in class that day.
