Gotta Love the Impromptu Projects!

Our current science unit is on Stars and Constellations. I love studying the stars! After we finished reading a lesson today I decided that it would be fun for my students to create posters about what we have learned so far. It was random, but I love what I see coming from these students. They are following a check list and working well as groups. It is interesting to see the leaders come out, leaders clashing with each other, compromising, creativity, silliness, and art. All of these things are important in the learning process! I can't to share pictures of this project!

Here is the checklist I gave to them. 

  • Title
  • Information
  • Correct Spelling
  • Cursive
  • Easy to read/Neat
  • Names of people in the group
  • Pictures
  • Color
  • Creative
  • Everyone participates
  • Work well as a group
