Knowledge Harvest Activities
Put a list of all of the topics we will cover this quarter on the board.
Ask students to work in groups to design a poster that shows:
- anything they currently know about these topics;
- what each of these topic is used for in the real world;
- anything the topics have in common;
- they might need to use their iPads to research.
Review the outcomes as a class, sharing ideas and adding comments.
