Record answers to brainstorming, discuss answers to listening guide after each segment of the video on Earth's materials

 

Prior knowledge is established, note taking and discussion reinforces new knowledge from video

teacher observation during small group/independent work

check for understanding of types of resources and monitor for on task behavior
facilitate small group; use of rubric

observe Internet research of resource

ask probing questions

refer students to rubric for expectations

check for understanding of researched material and the concept of the "life cycle"

rubric helps students to make decisions based on expectations of project
