<span style="color: #7a7ae1; font-family: Georgia,serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">*(Survey Monkey.com) Discussion Questions- The class will answer a survey of discussion questions ensuring student comprehension from the YouTube videos and the added value websites. <span style="color: #0092ff; font-family: Georgia,serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">This provides the teacher with instant feedback and assesses the students' comprehension about Global Warming-- it has the potential to increase the students' motivation for the project.

<span style="color: #7a7ae1; font-family: Georgia,serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">*(Wikispaces) Wiki- Each of the groups will contribute to their group Wiki by adding what they learned about Global Warming- How humans effect, how can we solve the problem, and what's in store for the future. <span style="color: #0092ff; font-family: Georgia,serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">This allows the children to share their knowledge in a social forum with their peers and teacher-- awareness of real-world audience and influence on others.

<span style="color: #7a7ae1; font-family: Georgia,serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">*(Wordle.net) Wordle- The student will individually construct a Wordle of all the key terms that they feel are important to the unit. <span style="color: #0092ff; font-family: Georgia,serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;"> This permits the student to express vocabulary words using technology. This can be viewed by all their peers and the teacher. By doing this the teacher will be able to do a quick check for understanding with their students.

<span style="color: #7a7ae1; font-family: Georgia,serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">*(blogger.com) Blog- Each student will individually use the class blog to produce a paragraph that reflects their learning experience throughout the activities and unit. <span style="color: #0092ff; font-family: Georgia,serif; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">Individual expression and knowledge sharing through a public forum-- increases the awareness of writing for an audience and purpose.
