=** Project Strategy and Timeline **=

 * At the beginning of the year I will begin teaching review topics to my students. These lessons will include various web 2.0 activities and multiple forms of information while taking into account multiple learning styles. After modeling good lessons to my students they will be assigned a review topic. This topic they must then research and understand mathematically. I will then begin giving them lessons on learning styles, learning disabilities, and learning strategies. The students will need to research in more detail the best way to reach each type of learner. Once the class has a good understanding about how people learn. They will be given the chore of gathering information on their classmates. Data will be gathered through interviews, diagnostic tests, and surveys. Once all of their data is gathered they must interpret the data to create the best lesson possible for their classmates. Collaboration in this step will be necessary to divide up the work. Student’s will be given time in class to develop their lesson and will be expected to work outside of class. The culminating activity will be a lesson that not only provides mathematical knowledge but explains why they chose to teach the lesson in their particular style and how it benefits the types of students in their class. **=====

**Day 1:** Project explanation and questions.
Student Handout

**Day 14:** Instruction regarding learning styles, learning disabilities, and learning techniques. Learning styles survey given.
Learning Styles Inventory

**Day 15:** Research into most common learning styles and types of learners via web quest.
=== **Day 16 - 18:** Research on classmates learning styles begins. Students will interview, create surveys, administer diagnostic tests and lead classroom and online discussions regarding learning styles. ===

**Day 19 – 21:** Class time given for students to compile projects.
=== **Presentation Days:** An additional week will be given for students to complete their projects outside of the classroom. The presentations will then be given once every few days. The students will teach the material, the class will then become responsible for it. Skill development and Assessments on the content of the lesson will be created and given by the teacher. === =Back To Capstone =
