SCENARIO:Seventh grade is the second year of a two-year World Area Studiescourse. The standards which will be used for this lesson deal withreligion in Asia. Seventh grade students will be required to work ingroups to research information on the five prominent religions inAsia: Judaism, Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism.Students will also be required to present their research findings totheir peers using some form of technology from Powerpoint to aWeb 2.0 product.
CONNECTION TO LOCAL OR STATE STANDARDS:SS7G8The student will describe the diverse cultures of the peoplewho live in Southwest Asia (Middle East).

a.Explain the differences between an ethnic group and areligious group.
b.Compare and contrast the prominent religions in SouthwestAsia (Middle East): Judaism, Islam, and Christianity.
SS7G12The student will analyze the diverse cultures of the
people who live in Southern and Eastern Asia.a.Explain the differences between an ethnic group and a
religious group.b.Compare and contrast the prominent religions in Southern
and Eastern Asia: Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Shintoismand the philosophy of Confucianism.
OVERVIEW:Students will work in groups practicing research skills in order to
locate sources of information about the religions of Asia. Eachgroup will be assigned a different religion so that they may presenttheir findings in a jigsaw manner to the class using some form oftechnology. Then, as a final assessment, students will workindividually to create Thinking Maps to compare and contrast thereligions.
FINAL PRODUCTS:
Students will create a presentation using technology (powerpoint ora Web 2.0 product) to share with the class. Each group will have adifferent religion so that all religions are represented. Finally, eachstudent will use a Thinking Map to compare and contrast thereligions as a final product to show mastery.
LIBRARY LESSONS:Over the course of two days, students will be given a brief overview
of the location of non-fiction and reference materials in the mediacenter. They will also be introduced to Galileo as a databaseresource. I (acting as SLMS) will provide a brief presentation onThe Big 6 research method. Included as part of this presentationwill be a discussion of citations and plagiarism. Students will learnthe ethical steps for citing information for research. I will also

discuss using databases and other web-based tools for researchalong with the pathfinder that I have created.
ASSESSMENT:Product:
-The students will receive a rubric which will include all requiredelements for the presentation to guide them in creating the presentation
along with their group.
-Students must provide notes pages to show the research they gatheredfor the project.-Each student will receive a rubric for the individual Thinking Map projectwhich will be the final assessment.
Process:-The students will complete a rubric for each member of the group
showing the contributions of that member (including themselves).-The teacher and SLMS will assess the students based on the note-taking
pages completed by each member of the group.-The teacher and SLMS will assess each student based on the Thinking
Map project which should show mastery of the material.
Student Self-Questioning:Students will be given a list of questions as a rubric for self-assessment:--Did I use the proper sources?
--Did I paraphrase the information?--Did I provide correct citations for resources I used?
--Did I create an engaging presentation using technology?--Did I participate as a member of my group?
--Did I accept input from other members?--Do I do my part to contribute to the final group project?
--Do I have all of the information needed for the Thinking Map?
INSTRUCTIONAL PLAN:Resources Students Will Use:

INSTRUCTION/ACTIVITIES:
Direct Instruction:Day 1-Media CenterMs. Jamison will have already introduced the project to the students in the
classroom, and she will have assigned them to groups. On their first day in themedia center, I will present a Powerpoint on The Big 6 which will provide
students with the information they need to begin researching their topic. (SeeBig 6 Research Powerpoint). We will discuss different information seeking
strategies using a variety of resources. I will also refresh their memories as tothe location of these resources in our media center. They will receive a graphic
organizer to help them remember the steps for research. (See attachedAppendix A)
Next, we will discuss what information they will need when they are citing a
source. We will discuss the importance of citing sources to prevent intellectual
theft which is always an interesting idea for students to consider. They do notrealize that when they plagiarize, they are stealing someone elses ideas and
intelligence. One thing that students always struggle with is paraphrasinginformation to prevent plagiarism. We will practice note-taking using a sample
article with a generic topic and a highlighter. Students must highlightimportant information. Then, on a separate sheet of paper, students must put
the highlighted information in their own words. I will model this with thebeginning of the same article to assist those who need further instruction.
Once students have completed this task, I will allow them to share in groups.Hopefully, this lesson will help me tackle the task of paraphrasing versus
plagiarism! (See note-taking Appendix B)
Day 2-Media CenterStudents will come in ready to research. Before they begin, I will remind themof the lesson on note-taking that we did the day before. I will also share with
them the pathfinder as a potential resource for them when they research. Wewill do a keyword search on the Galileo database so that they will be
prepared to use that as a research tool also. I will also refer to the informationon Bibliography tips and an example of bibliography information for the
database, a book and an encyclopedia.
Finally, I will show students some examples of final products using Powerpoint,
Glogster, SlideRocket and Prezi. I will also provide them with the websites foronline tutorials for using these tools. (See Appendix C) Once students are
released for research, I will become a facilitator in the media center movingfrom group to group to check progress of the research. We are fortunate to
have a computer lab next door to the media center, so Ms. Jamison is in thecomputer lab while I am in the media center offering guidance on research.

The students are able to do research and work on their presentations in the
computer lab. Finished products are presented to the class.
Modeling and Guided Practice: Students will be shown how to use the Galileodatabase and the pathfinder as a source for information. They will also be
shown examples of the products that they are expected to complete along witha rubric for completion of the product and a rubric for group evaluation. I willalso guide them in note-taking practices to prevent plagiarism
Independent Practice: Students will be working individually and ingroups to gather the research needed for their presentation. Thedecision for a particular presentation method has been left to themembers of each group. This will allow for creativity in the
presentation process.
Sharing and Reflecting: Once the projects are completed, studentswill present their findings in a class setting with classmates takingnotes in order to gain information for their final Thinking Mapassignment. Students will be presenting in a jigsaw manner witheach group presenting a different religion for that particular classperiod. There are five groups with 4 students in each group. The
final Comparison/Contrast Thinking maps will be posted in theclassroom for future reference.
