Capstone+Project

= = = = = The Project =

=== This project will put the students in the place of teacher and have them teach a review topic to the rest of class in style that incorporates technology, promotes retention of material, requires collaboration, and considers multiple learning styles. This project will start immediately in the beginning of the school year and run for approximately 5 weeks. The students will address not only the mathematical elements of their groups review topic, but the difficulties in learning the specific topic. They will articulate the reasons why the topics are difficult for students and techniques that will help the students remember. Since these are senior students they have seen many lessons styles and types. They know what helps them learn new material. The student’s goal is to teach a clear, technologically rich lesson that addresses the need and purpose of student retention. ===

**Student Explanation:** Your group will be assigned an algebra review topic. Together you must collaborate to create a presentation that will teach the class about the assigned topic. The presentation must have a detailed explanation of the topic, an interdisciplinary tie or real world application, and must be presented professionally with technology. Model review presentations will be given.

Things to keep in mind while creating the presentation

1. Multiple student learning styles. (Lesson will be given)

2. Research your audience, How do they prefer to learn?

3. Maximize technology integration. (Examples will be given)

= = **Goal:** Review of major concepts of Algebra 1 and Algebra 2.

**Groups:** There will be groups of 3 or 4 assigned by the teacher.

**Timetable:** This project will be worked on along side regular schoolwork for about 5 weeks.

**Rationale:** The entire first quarter will be devoted to reviewing algebraic concepts you have learned in Algebra 1 and Algebra 2. The presentations will help prepare us for the new Algebra we will be learning the rest of the school year.

**Grading Procedures:** Your project will be graded by using the rubric below. The rubric accounts for 80% of your grade. The final 20% will self and peer assessments.
