 * Instructional Objectives** : Students will identify a current or historical issue in their community and educate others through a powerpoint. ||
 * **Action**
 * Procedures** : Students will have previously studied some issues in Fairbanks history, as well as recent issues. Students will look through newspapers historical, and current to identify an issue that is important to them. They will work in groups to research the issue they selected. Students will gather information in an organizer and layout their plan for their powerpoint. Students will gather or create images that illustrate the different aspects of their issue. For the final project, students will create a powerpoint that will educate others on their issue. The powerpoint would need to use illustrations and text to identify the issue. ||
 * **Monitor**
 * Ongoing Assessments** : I will assess their collaboration, research, and final powerpoint. When students are gathering information, I will assess their research skills and continue to monitor their information to be sure they are identifying accurate resources. As students layout their plan for their powerpoint I will be able to assess their organization and initial content for their final project.
 * Accommodations and Extensions** : By working with another student, they will be able to share their expertise and utilize their partners to assist when they are having difficulty. Students may make their project as in depth as they would like which would allow for many students to do more than is required.
 * Back-up Plan** : Students may be able to use information that was found at home from the internet, as well as sharing our classroom computers. ||
