2. Learning Objective 4th grade students will, in groups,
create virtual informational texts on a chosen Science topic. They
will also answer an extension question that asks them to form an
opinion and support it with research.
3. The Project They will use technology to research,
collaborate, and create. Each group will create a wiki where they
can brainstorm, discuss ideas, exchange resources and their work.
Final presentation will utilize a presentation website like Prezi.
Finally, groups will teach the class about their topics using their
creations.
4. Assessment Rubric The rubric will assess whether the
appropriate and necessary elements were included in their project
and presentation. It will also assess their use of technology
(appropriateness and utilization) and their overall participation
within the group.

near the computers and alongside the classroom rules
