Alternatively, an interest inventory might be used. Students use www.bubbl.us tp create concept maps of people they belong to their favourite area. They select one person to write about. Using www.wordle.net they make a beautiful word cloud with the names of people they are going to work with. Students search the Internet to collect information about the person they selected. Students use a specially developed graphic organizer to depict information about the person. Each student’s work is put on a giant bio-poster.

Students make a slide show presentation of their work. hide
