PART 2. Building Knowledge and Concepts:(1) STUDENTS BECOME EXPERTS: The students are problem solvers who research, work at Print Media Stations and Educational technology Stations in order to get information and data which they think about, rebuild into a personal library of information and personal experiences.
(2) STUDENTS REFLECT: The students reflect on information they have found; they re-sequence the information and re-think it.. Small group discussions, study groups, collaborative writing software (CSILE), and interactive quizzes provide opportunities to refine learning and build understanding. The students relate the ideals they find during their research to the concepts introduced (in Part 1 ) and thereby develop a deeper understanding of those concepts.
