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.

Share projects in teams and choose one to share with class

Objective :Share projects in teams and choose one to share with class

Activity: In teams of 4, students share their final products for the Plant and Interdependence Performance Assessment. Each team chooses 1 to share with the whole class (this saves on presentation time.) Projects such as models, artwork, and illustrated books are displayed in the classroom afterwards and, due to their visual nature, most videos are viewed by the entire class. There should be a celebratory feeling for all of the new learning.

Assessment: Success of project.
