Integrated research and project based learning for Middle and High School

Your students will love forming a question and seeing where it takes them. This is SUPER FUN LEARNING that will keep engagement high for the middle or end of the semester.

You will love that that everything is set up for you to monitor students while they research and create.

Graphic Features of Text fits in perfectly with informational units. While teaching summarizing, author's purpose, and analyzation, teachers can present charts, and other elements of text structure to further increase student's learning.

What's Included:

• 27 slide lesson that covers the features of texts
• (2) Student Practice Activities with short informational texts attached to graphs for student practice during and after the lesson.
• Instructions for an engaging student project writing their own informational texts and making a chart to support their writing.
• Examples galore to help students understand graphic features of text, and how to complete the independent project.

All files come in Word, or Powerpoint with a PDF for easy printing. Questions presented focus on high level learning and challenging student thinking.

Sample Questions from Student Practice:

• What purpose does the graph serve to support the ideas presented in the text?
• What does the included graph help the reader understand about renewable energy?
• How might the time young people spend online relate to their mental health? Use the data in the charts or text evidence to support your answer.
• Choose one of the graphs for this question: how does the inclusion of this graph help to strengthen the author’s claim? Include the claim, graph title and text evidence in your response.

This project encourages students to choose an SEL topic of their own interest and create a presentation and activity as if they were delivering a lesson on it.

This project allows students to take the format of SEL lessons they've learned from and practice using it themselves to find, understand, and share information. This benefits individual students, as they can explore information of interest, and allows the educator to gauge what topics their students are curious about for future lessons.

If you have students present their lessons they also get practice talking about SEL topics and respectfully listening to peers do the same. I find this to be a great end of year project to wrap up SEL learning.

With presentations this project can be made to take up a whole week of SEL instruction (based on a 30-45 minute period a day). Day 1 students can hand in their topic and activity idea for teacher feedback, days 2-3 students can create the material, and day 4-5 students can present. Examples are simple for clarity and to suit a range of students, but expectations can be adjusted based on grade-level. This project includes a packet with clear instructions (with examples) and space for students to write their chosen topic and activity, an example slideshow, and two example activities that accompany the slideshow.

Business, Art, Graphic Arts and Technology classes will love these design lessons! Eight different lessons to create high interest projects in the areas of Fashion Design, Interior Design and Graphic Design give students a choice of which activity they would enjoy. Or, if you prefer, you can choose one or two to assign to your class. Each lesson gives an option that students can do on the computer or without any technology at all.

This lesson is great for distance learning/remote learning. You can upload it to your school's learning management system (Google Classroom, Edmodo, Canvas, etc.) or share with students via Google Drive.

Included in this download are the requirements for each of these lessons and resources for ideas, along with a rubric and sample completed lesson. Students choose from:

1. Create a fashion from duct tape.

2. Create a fashion collage

3. Revise and remake a historic fashion

4. Create a logo

5. Use typography to create a graphic alphabet

6. Create a poster

7. Design a piece of furniture

8. Remodel/redesign a bedroom

Each project takes 2-3 (50 minute) class periods.

This lesson was created for an 8th grade Principles of Arts, AV Technologies & Communications class, but would be suitable for any secondary classroom.
