Ultimately, my project is designed to offer students the opportunity to create a visual representation of their research on a particular topic of their choice.
Project Means/Deliverable:
Using a set of scaffolded inâclass and homework activities, students will incrementally build a âmapâ of their research sources using Prezi. Students will start with a âpreâsearchâ map that represents what they currently know about their topic, thenâover the course of several class periodsâadd sources and locate them on the map using proximity, shape, size, and color to create their map.
Note: Why Prezi? The openâended nature of a blank Prezi makes it ideal as a platform for designing this type of map. A blank Prezi is essentially a blank canvas where content can easily be arranged, sized, nested, linked, etc. In addition, various types of content can be includedâtext, images, sounds, video, etc.âso students can represent the many different types of research they gather.
