Time+Estimate

=Time Management=

During this project, I will set aside five class periods for your team to collaborate. I also offer your team a project wikipage in which to collaborate. It will take time outside of class to truly create a final product that will meet the criteria of "quality work". I recommend deciding each day in class what each individual on the team is responsible for before meeting as a group the next class period. A written "to do list" is highly encouraged.

I watch 20 teams work. In general, this seemed to be what teams were doing each day __during class__ (give or take):
 * Day 1 - Introductions, defining what is to be accomplished, and establishing roles
 * Day 2 - Locating the information needed to answer the essential question; the teacher gives each group a "personal lesson" about their chosen essential question highlighting conflicts/concepts/key people
 * Day 3 - Selecting what is most important; organzing rough drafts of "spoken word"
 * Day 4 - Organizing rough drafts into final drafts; experimenting with audio/video
 * Day 5 - Recording audio/video; the "30-second elevator pitch" for additional resources
