Entry 11: Technology Project
Understanding by Design
Technology Project: EDCI 890 Master's Project
~For my final project, I wrote a novel study for Chocolate Fever, by Robert Kimmel Smith.
While reading the novel, students also worked in groups to create and record candy bar
commercials, write blog posts about their differences, complete a WebQuest about the
novel's author, and tape each other performing character interviews. The project was a
lot of fun, and my students had a blast. Below, please find the Understand by Design
template, research-based rationale for the project, and iMovie showcasing the
awesome results the kids came up with.
