Instructional Procedures

1. Reserve the computers for your classes.
2. Look at the rubric and decide how many samples and the computer format you want the students to use. Some formats will take the students longer, such as PowerPoint. Some are much quicker, like making a table.
3. Explain the assignment to students. You might use the rubric and hand it out or just write the directions on the board or overhead.
4. To allow the students to share their work, you might take time to allow students to walk around the room and look at each computer to see what others have done.

Assessment Plan
