Lesson Plan #4
This year at the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute an emphasis has been created to develop projects within the context of units that will highlight the mutual participation of students and teachers alike. As a culminating exercise to our unit of study, each student will be challenged to develop a creative individual project which will reflect the results of their research. Here is a list of some of the suggestions that will be offered to the students, but keep in mind that if they wish to create a project through some other medium, they will be encouraged to do so.
-
l. A clay model (Perhaps of Columbus s settlements)
-
2. A mural
-
3. A travelogue
-
4. h mobile
-
5. A map
-
6. A chronological timeline of Columbus’s voyages
-
7. A classroom play
-
8. A newspaper from 1492 Spain
-
9. A tape
-
10. A creative game
-
11. A commercial
-
12. A slide show
-
13. A photographic display

14. A computer printout

15. A cartoon
I am sure that once these projects have been initiated the classroom spirit and enthusiasm will generate some real opportunities for wonderful learning experiences.
