2.1.5

2.1.5 Collaborate with others to exchange ideas, develop new understandings, make decisions, and solve problems.
What will it look like? The students will worktogether to create a product that reflects their understanding as a group. The students will discuss the topic, pull the information apart to make connections to prior knowledge, their lives and the real world, and then combine their various perspectives to provide a solution to a given problem.

How will you get them there? I will get the students to collaborate thorugh modeling, providing ground rules for group work, handling any logistical issues, and provide feedback and direction as needed to assist groups with arriving at a final solution. Collaboration is a continual learning process so the lower grade levels need more support from the media specialist than older students.
