Project Task 5

My project, as you are all aware now, will not be implemented in class this year. Holiday time for us all. So, as per the objectives for this week, I am going to refine my plans. 

My students of Form 6 will be involved in a Web Quest. They will be introduced to the task through a Power Point Presentation. I will try to motivate them to feel some interest for the play, 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. It is a small class of 12- there were 15 at the start but the number has decreased finally. It is thus easy for them to do a personal work for the Web Quest. After a brief introduction, they will get to watch the Animated Tales of the play and after a brief discussion, I will guide them towards the Quest. Of course, for more fairness and clarity, I will provide them with a rubric. They will have to make use of the rubric to proceed with the task. The rubric is thus available here: http://rubistar.4teachers.org/index.php?&screen=ShowRubric&rubric_id=2386369&

A rubric indeed gives direction to the students and they will know how to proceed. They will thus proceed by looking for the appropriate information at the different links provided. For this time, they will have to search on the theme of love. They will have to make use of the ideas to answer these questions:

1. Is love genuine in the play? 
2. What is your opinion concerning the different characters and love in the play?
3. Who is the most honest lover in the play?

Their work must not exceed 900 words in length and they will inevitably limit the marks that can be awarded for their answers if they produce short work.

 

 Let's hope that I am on the right track!
