Running Head: British Adventure Prototype


Anneleise Dickens EDCI 569

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

British Adventure Prototype


Anneleise Dickens EDCI 569
the classroom. This leaves open the possibility of students working together and having
an instructor near by to assist if needed. Completion of this project should be feasible
within 3-4 weeks (revised) at the least; time may be needed for class instruction or
individual assistance with skills.

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.

The biggest roadblock I think would be confidence.

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.

Anneleise Dickens EDCI 569
Research, writing, and critical thinking are each fundamentally important skills for
todays students. Focusing an e-learning project on research and writing while giving
students some independence to guide their own research will benefit these skills and may
influence their future.

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.

Motivation to Learn

Psychomotor Skills
Attitude and Mindset
Mental Discipline

Communication Skills

Social Skills

Learner Capability or Trait


While few are motivated to complete a research project in
school, by the time they reach senior status it is hoped learners
will be able to identify the need for research skills to be
utilized in their daily lives.
Learners should have average psychomotor capabilities. They
are wired for digital learning.
Overall learners should be positive about being able to have
more freedom of choice in regards to a topic and in planning a
vacation, with little interference from an instructor.
Learners mental discipline will vary according to reading skill
level and maturity, but most should be relatively moderate.
They should be self-motivated and able to multi-task as these
are prerequisites for enrollment in this blended learning course.
Communication and literacy skills for these learners are
expected to be at a competency level of 11th grade at the least,
although some students may have learning disabilities or issues
and have an individual education plan (IEP).
Learners should have average social skills and social learning
preference may vary, but they were enrolled in this blended
learning course with prior knowledge that there would be
social learning experiences.

Education
Digital Fluency

The ability levels of learners are expected to be at minimum


10th grade competency level and up.
Most likely, anything dealing with technology is a preference
for these learners. A balance of graphics, video, voice, and text
is the assumed preference.
Learners are expected to have a general understanding of the
use of the internet for research and communication. As for the
subject, they may know about Britain and the UK, but overall
it is doubtful any have actually been overseas.
The instructor/school will set learning conditions yet there will
be allowances made per individual student when it comes to
this module. The class is 120 minutes in length and is to be
broken up into chunks of instructor-led activities, self-paced
activities, and group work activities.
Learners have the power to control their self-paced activities
and always have opportunity to discuss any work with the
instructor so it can be tailored to their preferences if possible.
As for applying what they learn to day to day work,
researching is an essential skill for use when/if they go to
college and may come in as essential at work or even when
planning a purchase or vacation.
Most learners in this course will have been involved in a
traditional classroom experience, with some sort of
blended/independent learning.
These learners are digital natives.

Learning Environment/Proposed Delivery Method: (revised) The project is


primarily a stand-alone module accessible via the Internet. An instructor will be on hand
for this particular class, but if this should be used by another instructor elsewhere, it may
be stand-alone. The best learning environment would be British literature course or
British history course, although the basic premise of the project could be altered to any
subject.

Running Head: British Adventure Prototype


Anneleise Dickens EDCI 569
Potential delivery methods include a Weebly website or any course management
system that allows for personalization. It is also possible this could be offered via
Edmodo or a similar platform; in terms of a presentation format, any should do.
Learners in this class will access this projects content via the Internet, using Weebly and
will also use Collaborize to post discussions. They will be familiar with posting via
Collaborize as it will have been used throughout this course and students in my district
have used Edmodo at all grade levels, therefore they are familiar with online
posting/discussions. All assessment tools are located in Appendices A and B.

Learning Objectives: (revised) The instructional goal with this module is for
students to plan a British vacation in conjunction with honing research and critical
thinking skills, both of which are essential components in Common Core standards for
ELA at all grade levels. The following table provides objectives based on Magers (1997)
approach.

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.

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!

Notes:

Self-Evaluation [based on Merrills 5 Star Instructional Design Rating]


Rating Criteria
Is the courseware presented in the
context of real world problems?

Rating & Explanation


Yes. This module takes them from
choosing a destination (topic) through the
stages of research. The premise is planning
a vacation, something nearly everyone will
do at least once in his or her lifetime. They
are given a dollar amount and requirements
for the trip, so they have to work through
the planning in order to present a product
that sells the trip to an audience.
Does the courseware attempt to activate Yes. Several times learners are reminded of
the research process, especially correctly
relevant prior knowledge or
experience?
citing sources and choosing credible
websites. They have been taught this
throughout school. Most have been on
vacation yet have probably not planned
one.
Does the courseware demonstrate what
Somewhat (?). This module demonstrates
is to be learned rather that merely what is to be learned in the section
tell information about what is to regarding choosing credible websites in
be learned?
that students complete a tutorial that
contains examples. Learners are directed to
appropriate websites via suggestions and
some links provided.
Do learners have an opportunity to
Yes. Learners go through each stage/step
practice and apply their newly
and apply by posting to Collaborize as well
acquired knowledge or skill?
as responding to posts of peers, which
provides constructive feedback. They are
also responsible for creating products that
showcase their new knowledge and create a
plan for their perfect vacation.
Does the courseware provide techniques Yes. Learners are directed to online posting
that encourage learners to
of their findings, issues, etc. They are
integrate the new knowledge or provided a set dollar amount and have to
skill into their everyday life?
figure their budget for travel. All of this
requires a final product in which they
present to classmates their vacation
adventure.
