"Students move about the room to look over,

discuss, and give feedback on products of

others" (Kagan, 1994, p.12:5). This will be utilized

so students can get a close-up look at others' work.

This will help them decide which topic to

write about for their fictional narrative.

"Collaboration is a skill that is critical for success in personal relationships, education, business. Fostering appropriate social skills and positive interactions are important life skills educators must teach and reinforce at each grade level" (Burke, 2009, p.70). Students will work together to find misunderstandings in each other's work. They will also find mistakes with conventions.

"With rubrics, students are held accountable for their work. They know exactly what is expected and how they will be graded. It then becomes the student's responsibility to ensure that all requirements of the assignment are met" (Burke, 2009, p.88).

"Like all quality assessments, performances should also help forward the instruction of key curricular concepts. Some examples of performances are oral presentations, demonstrations,enactments, debates, and videotapes" (Butler & McMunn, 2006, p.59). Students are expected to present their research reports orally so that students are introduced to the various topics chosen for this project.
