British Adventure: Students in a British literature class will embark upon an online
literary research project module in which they research, plan and present a two-week
Britain/UK vacation, with emphasis on historical/literary sites important to British
literature (revised, showing change from American to British).
Context: This e-learning module will be developed for a secondary English 4 (revised)
class. It will satisfy Common Core standards for writing, reading, listening and speaking,
and language, with emphasis on the writing standard Conduct short as well as more
sustained research projects to answer a questionsynthesize multiple sources on the
subject, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation ("English
Language Arts Standards," 2014). This instruction is designed to fulfill not only the
requirements of South Carolina learning standards/Common Core standards, but to fulfill
the requirements at the local district level. In addition, this project may also satisfy
several 21st Century Learning Skills, such as creativity and innovation, critical thinking
and problem solving, information literacy, and life/career skills ("Framework for 21st
Century Learning - the Partnership for 21st Century Skills," 2009).
As this module is designed for English 4 classes, the focus is British literature and
the United Kingdom; therefore the project would not necessarily apply to other grade
levels unless modified.
The only restrictions in place for instruction is that students must attend class
regularly, in a classroom, and will be required to work on the project both in and out of
Need Analysis: (revised as this was not previously completed) To determine issues
surrounding high school seniors and skills, I conducted interviews of the staff and
several senior students at my school. I asked staff to provide their thoughts as to
students ability to think critically and asked both staff and students about strengths/
weaknesses in terms of research. On the whole, staff responses regarding critical
thinking were negative. Overall, it was agreed there is a need for modeling and practice
in thinking critically. Students say they know the process steps but do not really
remember what to do; and teachers unanimously agree finding credible sources and
citing them are the biggest issues.
Some observations:
They do well when given multiple choice, but cannot reason out their own
answers. The fact that they do not want to read material thoroughly is a major
contributor to the problem.
I do think high school students have the ability to think critically. Sometimes it's
laziness, and them not wanting to think. (I'm also guilty of that at times.) Part of it
is that they don't have the motivation to think critically. If it's an issue that they
care about, then they absolutely have the ability. In general, I think it's motivation,
not ability.
Learner Analysis & Description: (revised) Targeted learners for this module are
12th grade seniors enrolled in British literature. The module can be used for virtually any
student at a high school level and can be altered for lower grades if needed. Students
engaging in this project will be enrolled in a blended learning English 4 class. They will
complete the majority of their work online and independently as the school at which I
teach is designed to offer flexible and self-paced courses. Therefore, students understand
the crux of the responsibility to complete work lies upon their shoulders.

This is your chance to plan the ultimate vacation. You have $4000 to plan this trip. Your
passport, money exchange, and fees are all taken care of. All you have to do is decide
where you will go, how you will get there, and what you will do while there. Your trip will
last 1-2 weeks, depending upon how well you budget your money and what there is to see
and do. Below are the basics as to what you will do in this project. Plan wisely, have fun, and
make this your best work!
1. Be sure you have a functional email address. Written assignments will be sent from
here.
2. You may need a Dropbox/Google Docs or other note taking device; you may use a
thumb drive
3. You may work alone or with a partner; just remember to share and do your part
4. You will post writings & discussions to Collaborize. You are familiar with this as we
have used it this semester.
5. You will write; evaluate website credibility; create an itinerary; refresh your
knowledge of MLA citations/bibliographies; critique & respond to peer work; and
you will create a travel project to SELL it to your class.
6. Please click the link that will take you to the page where all rubrics for your
assignments are kept. You need to save these for reference.

OK, so where are you going to go in the United Kingdom? Have you always
wondered what its like to sleep in a castle? Perhaps you want to see the Tower of
London or the Globe Theatre? On this page is a list of places, time periods, literary
names and places.
Do some preliminary research; perhaps do a Google search on 1-3 of the
choices, and then narrow it down to your one (1) choice. Discuss with your
classmates, friends, teachers, family members if you like. This is to be a
choice of your own that you are interested in learning more about.
Once you have made your choice, you are to post your destination to
Collaborize. Your writing post is to include within a paragraph the reason
for your choice, at least 2 sites you plan to visit and why.
You then need to read the posts of your classmates and respond to at least 2
posts that you find interesting or perhaps you looked at that destination and
found something of interest the person may have missed.
Remember the rules and guidelines for posting.

Should you always believe everything you hear? We all know there are truths,
lies, white lies, half-truths, etc. How can you know what you find on the Internet is
believable, or credible?
Go through this tutorial to learn how to determine the credibility of a website. This
BUTTON will take you to a PowerPoint created by another school. Some of the
links within the tutorial may not work, but the content itself is great, and there is a
built-in quiz for you to complete.
Once you complete the tutorial, please click the CHECKLIST button to download
and print an important checklist. You will use this checklist to do the following:

Ok, folks. It is time to PLAN, to get down to the nitty gritty. Remember, you have
$4000 for travel, meals, lodging and touring. Plan wisely. You are to look at major
airlines (such as American, US Air) and travel planning sites (such as Expedia,
Fodors, lonelyplanet), as well as the promotional or tourist websites of your
destination. Remember also you have to create a PROJECT to SELL us on your trip!
1. Be sure you keep track of your sources/websites. In the next phase you will
learn to create a MLA bibliography page, and will need the websites.
2. Create an annotated itinerary, which is simply a list of what you have
planned daily and the details. Here are two examples: Cotswold Way;
Highgate. You may follow these or create your own. Be creativetry
Google Maps, a Prezi, Slideshare, etc.
3. Itinerary should include date, time/place of flight(s); dates of travel;
lodging; tourist visits; meal proposals; costs for everything (estimates ok)
4. Post your itinerary to Collaborize
5. Respond to at least 2 of your classmates itineraries.

How would you feel if you created a piece of art that sold for thousands of dollars,
wrote a song that made millions, or wrote a bestselling bookbut someone else
took your idea and made that money for herself? It would stink, wouldnt it? Thats
called plagiarism. You know about it, know its wrong, yet we still plagiarize. For
this project, you need to be sure and give credit to your sources. This will be a
grade and will be part of your project. WITHOUT this, your project will receive a
grade of F.
Remember being reminded to keep track of all sources/websites? Now is the time
to go back to those. You need to visit the following sites and refresh your memory
on plagiarism and the MLA format. You have been taught MLA since elementary
school.
You are required to submit a references page as part of your project.
Visit the Purdue OWL (Online Writing Lab) for an overview of plagiarism and
MLA. Then set up an account at EasyBib, an online bibliography generator.
You then use the list created at this site to make your reference page.

This is it! You have researched, learned about credibility in website selection,
refreshed your memory about using MLA and not plagiarizing. Now, it is time to
create your product so you can sell your vacation to your classmates.
You have freedom to decide how to present your vacation. You need to be sure and
check the rubric for the presentation requirements; this is what will be used to
assess mastery.
Overall, your project must be in a format easily viewed on a computer or white
board. This means you must use a mix of technologies. Simply reading a script and
showing a slide show will not earn many points, nor will it be entertaining enough
to sell us. Make us WANT to go on vacation to your destination! Make us feel like if
we did not go, we would always regret it.
Dont forgetyou MUST include a reference list in correct MLA format!
