Day 10 & 11- Show What You Know!
Students will create their own review tool to show what they have learned throughout this unit. This tool should be something they could use to teach others (i.e. a classmate who was absent during this unit, or a review tool that can be used with students next year). They should be expected to review the big ideas, any new vocabulary, pose new problems (or make alterations to problems done in class), and include solutions/explanations to go along with their work! They can work individually or in groups.
To incorporate the use of technology, students can create a flipchart, Prezi, animation, PowerPoint, videoÉ any combination of the suggested resources and different sources are all options, but must be approved by the teacher!
