Emily, great job on your wiki and nice picture. :) --Yanyan

PowerPoint Peer Review: The content and questions of your PowerPoint presentation are educationally sound, very informative, and well-written. Likewise, these questions are appropriate for the grade level intended-- Adolescent, Integrated Language Arts. You provide a good amount of useful information for your future students. The provided instructions are concise and easy to follow. The pictures are very suitable for adolescent Language Arts and the images would be appealing for a student. You saved the file in the appropriate format (PowerPoint show) and all of the links work properly. I really enjoyed your interactive PowerPoint and can tell that you worked hard and spent a great deal of time on this assignment. Your work is very thorough and provides useful information for students. Keep up the good work! ~ Mary E. Ward

Of Mice and Men Webquest- Week 4

WEEK 4 PEER REVIEW: from Mary E. Ward

FORMAT: VISUALS: CONTENT:
 * The link to your Quest Garden works correctly.
 * The video link on the introduction of your Quest Garden works properly.
 * I like the color scheme you chose for your "Beyond of Mice and Men: A Look at the Culture of the Great Depression". However, you could include visual aids to aid in the visual appeal of your Quest Garden.
 * The content you have provided is educationally sound. Are there any questions related to the topic that you could incorporate into your project? Also, you forgot to include information on the "Teacher Page" and the "Process" page (of the Student section) of your Quest Garden page. Adding this additional information will make your Quest Garden project more complete.
 * The content is grade level appropriate.
 * The directions are clear and easy to follow. However, you forgot to update the rubric page for students, explaining to them how their work will be evaluated. Completing this in its entirety will give students a clear understanding of your expectations for this assignment.
 * Did you use any outside sources (ie- Youtube vide)? If so, you should cite those on the credits page of your project.

Great job on your webquest. I think the idea you used for you webquest was a good way to use a technology tool for books and connecting information. It was easy to following for the grade provided, and students know exactly what was expected -Ashley Wheeler

Of Mice and Men WebQuest

The Webquest seems to be well done, however the "process" page of the student page is not coming up, unless it is incomplete. In addition, the teacher page is blank. You will want to go back and fill these in. The idea seems to be a good one that will benefit students studying the Great Depression and Of Mice and Men. The images are appealing and appropriate, just be sure to finish up the parts that are incomplete.

Technology Survey- Week 5 [|My Technology Survey]



Video Project- Week 6 [|Great Depression Art Video]

WEEK 6 PEER REVIEW (2/7/12) : Emily, Overall, I am very impressed by the movie you created on Windows Movie Maker about Art of the Great Depression era. The movie is very well put together and flows nicely. I love your selection of background music from that time period, bringing everything together within your movie. Your choice of transitions also added appeal to your project. The caption font and style is perfect for what you are trying to achieve through this assignment. Also, I found the introduction (following your title slide) to be especially helpful, presenting background information to your audience. Your Movie Maker project is very nicely done! Your Classmate, Mary.

Nicely done. You dieffently could use this in a lesson about the time period. The music went well with your movie, and the transitions were also done well. The whole movie ran nicely, and hit all the key conponents of the assignment. Ashley

The movie is effective in showing the art of the Great Depression. I thought it was well done and the transitions were interesting and the captions were appealing. Keep up the good work!

Week 8- Rubric

Week 8- Audacity Podcast media type="file" key="Keep Your Head Up.mp3" width="240" height="20"

PODCAST: Mice of Men The content of this podcast is educationally sound, namely because it provides term definitions (perseverance) and makes references to other historical happenings of the era. The directions are very clear, and I like how Emily inserted music after the first set of directions, allowing the students some time to think and complete the beginning step of the assignment. The only suggestion I have is adding more time to brainstorm after the first step of the assignment. This would give students additional time to think and process the task at hand. ~ Mary Ward

The content of the podcast reflects good planning. Students will benefit from listening to this and learning about some of the themes in Of Mice and Men, as well as U.S. culture in general during the time. The sound is of good quality and everything is audible. I liked the way you used music for wait time. Keep up the good work!

-Joe Walla

I think podcast for language arts could be very helpful. I liked how you had explinations for the culture at this time and how this went with the books. The sound was good and easy to hear. You could easly have this sent out to students and guardians to listen to and understand your lessons in a new way. Over all good work! Ashley
