Essential Question(s): How do our choices about energy consumption affect our lives and the lives of those around us? <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">What are ways to use collaboration to make workflows more effective? <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">How does the way we choose to communicate information to others affect their understanding of projects? <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">What role does self-reflection play in learning?

 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">o Research and information fluency || * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">o Critical thinking, problem-solving, & decision-making ||

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Instructional objective(s): <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> Students will be able to conduct research to identify and propose a solution to a question on energy consumption as part of a person’s lifestyle. <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> Students will understand how collaboration can speed up the process of research and problem solving. <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> Students will understand the power of reflection on their thinking process.

 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Before-class preparation:

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> I will need to look up and become familiar with this information:

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> Look up information about different kinds of energy. What kinds of energy do we have at our disposal when looking at power? <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> What are the benefits of different kinds of energy? What are the drawbacks? <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> What are the steps that we would need to go through to do our own small installations of different kinds of energy production at our site?

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> I would also need to make sure that we had time to access computer labs for students to conduct research on these topics. || <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> Notes: Student groupings, environmental modifications needed, etc. <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> Students will be assigned to cooperative learning groups of three to four. These interdependent groups will conduct research and support each others’ understanding of the overall topic. <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> Ongoing assessment(s): Blog posts, Webspiration contributions, discussion threads on proposed solutions <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> Accommodations and extensions: <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> Sites can be identified for students who need additional help finding resources <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> Students could be shown how to bring in videos and audio content to support their ideas <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> If I can arrange it, we could try and do videoconferencing to get information on specific kinds of energy from experts. <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> Backup plan: If technology is down, we can create brainstorms about alternative energy based on my research and the students’ knowledge. This can be done on paper. <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> Lesson reflections and notes:
