Research Skills: Focus on the Islands // Competitive learning I: The class divides into three groups, each with a "team leader". // // The three groups then learn about "the islands," organizes a review sheet, designs an assessment, and gives the assessment (the next class meeting) to their group and to the other groups! Each person and each group gets an overall score based on their performance on their assessment and on the other assessments. The group with the highest score "wins" ten extra credit points. // // After the activity is completed, the three groups get together to analyze the success or failure of this learning technique. Finally, all three groups get together to make an overall combined review sheet of what everyone should know. //

// IN class: divide up, learn about "the islands", make/organize a review sheet, decide how you will make the "assessment" for next class. // // Homework: Design the "assessment" to be given next GD class and study "the Islands" so that you will excel on the other groups' assessments! //
