The'teacher'will'show'an'example'of'their'PowerPoint'presentation'and'will'provide'tips'in'creating'theirs.'
However,'the'teacher'encourages'the'student'to'be'unique'and'creative'in'their'construction'of'a'
PowerPoint.'The'Project'will'be'introduced'by'me'showing'them'mine'on'a'projector.'This'could'take'two'to'
three'days'to'complete.'The'learning'will'be'assessed'by'seeing'how'accurate'their'info'is'and'how'well'they'
understood'the'content'by'grading'their'PowerPoint.'Student'learning'will'also'be'assessed'by'seeing'if'they'
attained'the'learning'objectives'by'having'a'quiz'at'the'end'of'the'lesson.''
'
The'final'product'will'then'be'used'to'help'those'who'are'better'visual,'auditory,'and'verbal'learners'adapt'to'
the'content.'There'is'also'the'option'to'turn'this'into'a'movie.'This'project'could'also'be'considered'
kinesthetic'because'they'are'creating'a'product'with'their'hands.'We'can'extend'this'to'a'higher'level'of'
learning'by'publishing'the'PowerPoints'and'Movies'to'a'website.'We'could'also'allow'the'students'to'teach'

what'they'have'learned'to'the'class.'We'will'conclude'the'lesson'with'an'exit'question'of'something'new'they'
learned'today.'I'will'be'using'a'rubric'to'grade'the'students'work'and'will'provide'feedback'on'it.''

Reflective&Practice:&I'believe'that'this'lesson'idea'could'really'have'a'big'impact'on'student'learning.'I'believe'
it'gives'student’s'a'voice'and'empowerment'to'create'something'from'what'they'know.'This'will'make'them'
feel'valued.'I'think'to'further'extend'this'lesson'we'could'have'a'student'choose'their'favorite'renewable'
energy'source'and'create'a'movie'about'it.'They'can'do'research'on'more'specifics'such'as'what'is'the'future'
of'this'energy'source.'They'could'even'share'their'power'points'with'one'another'and'work'on'a'collaborative'
project'combining'and'organizing'all'of'their'research'into'one.''
