Establish a classroom atmosphere that celebrates the sharing of learning. Have opportunity for students to practice new learnings. Make student learning available to the larger community, i.e. books students write are shared with other classes, students report in school paper, student work is displayed at school, etc.

Project Presentations

Objective: The students present their modernization or transformation projects.

Activity: This would be a good time to invite parents to come to school to participate in these presentations. Since the theme is transformation, you might even ask the students to dress up and provide some refreshments-transforming the classroom into a more professional setting. Each student should be given about 5 minutes to present his/her project.

Assessment: Use the rubrics created previously to evaluate the level of understanding of the concept and the ability to articulate how the concept can be seen today
