Propuesta de un Aprendizaje Basado en Proyectos

Con mis compañeros Ana María, Beatriz y Víctor del Diplomado ALAD, elaboramos estas propuestas para un Aprendizaje Basado en Proyectos, utilizando el tema de reciclaje.
Ana María creo una página de wiki para que todos pudieramos trabajar: http://englishlife.pbworks.com/w/page/38938683/Reciclaje

El proyecto original lo preparó Beatriz de la siguiente manera:

Wall : Recycling

Objective: To make students aware of the importance of recycling.
Resources: internet web pages suggested to work with
Schedule: Look at the end of the page for the time schedule

Activity 1: What do you know about recycling? What items can be recycled?
Activity 2:  Individually: answer the questions by watching the video clip from the web page suggested:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTWbvfrS_ig
Blocks:

• ·Block A: Environmental Impact: What benefits does recycling have over environment? Mention one creative way to recycle according to the video clip.
• What is the benefit of reducing waste? 
• ·Block B: Negative Aspects: Is there any negative aspect of recycling?
• ·Block C: What is the best way to make people conscious about recycling?

Activity 3
Once you have researched about recycling individually; you need to work in the wiki. With the information obtained from the web pages suggested you have to complete the table; add all the result you have obtained as a team of three (3) members. All members need to compare answers provided and decide which ones you are using.

(This is how the table is going to look like after completing it with the information in the WIKI)


Activity 4
Once you have completed the table, you must work in pairs. You must take into consideration the following key points:

You must check and look for the following:
1. Research the main idea in each paragraph.
2. Research the main idea from the whole text.
3. Choose one positive aspect and one negative aspect from each text.
4. Make a brief power point presentation in order to let your classmates know about your research.

Activity 5: Write brief paragraphs to take into account the important facts from the texts and the topic. If possible make a comparison table/chart to include in your power point presentation.

Activity 6: Illustrate your topic by adding pictures, photographs, images or clipart to your presentation on recycling.

Remember: You have to relate the images used to the process of recycling. Each member of the team will do a consensus about the images, pictures, photographs or clipart illustrated in order to represent in a best way the recycling process.

Activity 7: In teams, you will represent a Wall Newspaper called Recycling by using the brief texts and images.

Activity 8: Students will show their power point presentations in an Open House exhibit to other groups or members of the school
To do the activity, you must follow the next steps:

             • Make a diagram of what you tell

• Try to introduce an example or anecdote.

Víctor trabajo una primera parte de la traducción del proyecto de la siguiente manera:

Actividad 3
Una vez que hayas hecho la recolección de los datos de manera individual, ahora en un wiki  van a ir rellenando una tabla con los resultados en común. Esto lo harán formando grupos de 3  integrantes, comparando sus respuestas y escribiendo lo que tengan en común.

(Esto es el wiki simulado)



Ana María convirtió el proyecto en un Scrapbook: http://www.kn.att.com/wired/fil/pages/webwallrecal.html
Y yo lo diseñé en versión de un hunt: http://www.kn.att.com/wired/fil/pages/huntrecyclinpb.html
Espero les guste.
