COOL TEACHING LESSONS AND UNITS ALONG WITH RESOURCES FOR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS Short Cuts: WEBQUEST UNITS RESEARCH MODULES ONLINE PROJECTS READY MADE UNITS ... STUDENT RESOURCES Some personal notes about this web page: It is designed as a resource for teachers K-12 who wish to find quality ready-made units and lessons for all subjects, or who wish to develop their own units. This page emphasizes engaged learning models such as WebQuests, Research Modules and Project-Based Learning, but links include other forms of lessons and tutorials. Included also are sites to help you build your own units as well as some examples of sources to help students do research. Some of these units depend on the ability of students to do interactive work with others using technology. However, even if you have one or no computer in your classroom, most of the units linked at this site can be of much help. They are great learning experiences not only because of technology, but because they also involve students in activities that challenge them to solve problems by doing quality research, analyzing information, synthesizing possibilities, making judgments and then creating interesting products in order to communicate their results. Technology can be used as tools in making these exciting learning experiences even deeper, richer and more motivating. There is no glitz in this page - just links to wonderful ways for your students to learn. Enjoy!

ESL/Civics Webquest The Bill of Rights Introduction Intended Audience Objectives/Task Process ... Credits Introduction "ESL programs are the fastest growing component of the state-administered adult education programs. In 1997-98, 48% of enrollments were in ESL programs, compared to 33% in 1993-94. Of these 48% enrollees, 32% were in beginning ESL classes, 12% in intermediate, and 4% in advanced." (See the ESL fact sheet from the National Institute for Literacy as wll as the LINCs ESL Special Collection for numerous informative resources) The field of adult education is chronically underfunded and understaffed, particularly in the area of ESL/Civics professional development. As with most adult education professionals, ESL/Civics teachers rely primarily on inservice professional development to better their teaching skills and knowledge. This webquest is an inservice professional development tool. The goal of the webquest is to be a useful inquiry model to help ESL/Civics teachers expand their professional expertise and knowledge, and teach their adult learners about the Bill of Rights in partial preparation for the INS citizenship test. After completing the webquest, you will not only have much more Bill of Rights knowledge and many more resources at your fingertips, but you will also have several lesson plans to share and utilize directly in your classrooms.
