Students will be referencing a set of technical step-by-step directions to construct a 16x16 inch pillow case. Students will be guided as group, but they will progress at their own pace within the 10 day time period. As the students work they will refer to their directions first, partner second, neighbor third and then the teacher. The teacher’s role in the classroom is to facilitate the process, trouble shoot as needed and help manage the students’ use of time and supplies. At the end of each class period, students will indicate their daily progress on a chart posted in the room. This allows for the teacher to track each student’s work and target those who are struggling.
Each class period will begin and end with five minutes of setting up, cleaning up and touching base.
Refer to attached guide sheet for the step-by-step of the construction process.
At the completion of the project, pillows will be evaluated using the attached rubric. Students will take a quiz to assess their mastery of content.
