Service project session 2

I helped guide Shana through the research by having a list of search engines ready for her to start looking up facts on the Appaloosa Horse. I gave her the list then she started looking up facts and pictures to use in our voicethread. I used inquiry based learning in exploration on the tools by giving her list then letting her do the work just like we do in class. It was also alot easier on me because she was a little bit older so she knew how to use mostly everything I gave her.

Service Project session 3




Shana, my student already knew alot about horses because she takes english riding lessons. But when I started asking her questions about her favorite horse she realized she didn't know much about it. I would ask her questions about the stuff we researched and she would recall it. The open ended questions worked best with our project just because our project was mainly about detail of a horse. Pretty much I typed and wrote everything but she told me what to write. On the movie however we found a website that told about the Appaloosa horse and we highlighted what we thought was necessary and then divided it to say it on the movie. Everything was equally divided through the whole process of the project. Before this session I looked up stuff on the horse so I was knowledgeable also so I could ask proper questions that would help advance us in the movie making.
