Collaborative+Workshop


 * Project Workshop **
 * CIRG 644-Irvin **
 *  Content Exploration Project: **CIRG644 students have been assigned a partner from CI 345 to collaborate on a **vocabulary strategy based lesson (due October 13th)** and later an **instructional video (due November 17th)** that addresses assessment, learning styles, vocabulary, and literacy. Communication will occur through a collaborative wiki format. Students will not be required to meet face to face during this project. Grading rubric follows.

**Content Exploration Rubric **  1) **Collaboration visible through discussions and edits between CIRG 644 and CI 345 students using wikispaces.com** Some of you have already begun the process of collaborating with your CI 345 partner. The collaboration page in YOUR CIRG 644 wiki will be the place to correspond, brainstorm, and create a specific content area lesson.

If you and your partner are both from the same discipline, then obviously you will use that content area for this lesson; however, if you and your partner are from different disciplines, then you will want to select one of the two disciplines to create the lesson. Graduate reading students, your group’s content area will be determined by the CI 345 major.

2) **Product includes assessment rubric** Create a rubric for grading your content area lesson. You may use [] or any online rubric maker if you would like in setting up your lesson rubric.

3) **Product includes a content area vocabulary strategy** Since we have been spending time with vocabulary strategies, I do want you to include ONE of them in this lesson, but feel free to add additional elements to it as well. This might include something like:  
 * EXAMPLE of Elements to consider **
 * Pre-reading ** – LGL (List Group Label) Vocabulary Strategy (connect with prior knowledge)
 * During reading ** - Three Level Reading Guide (check for level of understanding or for active reading)
 * Post-reading **- Discussion or Presentation or Evaluation (reconnect)

4) **Product includes two forms of technology in addition to the wiki** In your planning of this lesson be specific on how you will integrate technology. If you use the Smart Board (electronic white board) as one element of the lesson, then HOW will you use it? What part of the lesson?

Other options: Online website, blogs, webquest, Elmo (document camera), Interactive media games, video, … <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 150%; msotabcount: 1;"> <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 150%;"> __5) **Reflection of the collaborative process (self-analysis) submitted individually** After you have completed the collaborative assignment, write a reflection that details your experience with this collaborative project and media (wiki). <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; text-align: center;"> **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt;"> (Self Analysis) **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt;"> **CIRG 644 and CI 345 Reflection on Collaborative Project:** <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; msofareastfontfamily: Arial; msolist: Ignore;">1.  <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 200%;"> Based upon your pre-reading strategy what worked and what didn’t work?
