Introduction: This portfolio consists of a webquest
and a Model Project which is an example of my classrooms weekly homework
and reading log. The webquest has been adapted to a special education 1st-3rd
grade Special Day Class. The children in the class learn different ways
and are at many different education levels. The webquest
that I chose to make
for my class was very simple and straight forward. The webquest teaches
children how to make an english muffin pizza step by step. It requires
them to transfer the words
in writing from the computer to paper. The children also will learn measurements
and use their language skills throughout the project. The Model Project
that I adapted to my classrooms
needs is weekly homework
written out day to day and a reading log. The children will bring their
homework and reading log back to school every Friday. On
Friday my instructional assistant and I will help students create a weekly
Power Point on their favorite story that they read at home during the week.
This will enable me to check for understanding and comprehension, and at
the same time the students will learn computer skills.
