When planning my TWS, I guided my lesson by asking students about what they wanted to learn using a web, and then informing my direction by investigating a variety of online resources for appropriate and applicable information. For example, when learning about fruits and vegetables, it was important for me for the students to know that in terms of growing plants (botany) a tomato is a fruit. However, once we use this tomato in a culinary aspect for food, it is considered a vegetable. Attached is the web that I created with my students to get a full scope of the content we would be learning.
