Process 1:
Students are designated into groups of 1 students. Each group identifies 6
leisure-based situations and achievement-based situations for the three
events in the life phase.
Process 2:
Students are jigsawed into groups of 6 resulting in 9 typical events for a
life phase. Each group addresses 9 typical life events within a life phase,
e.g. adolescence-prom, gaming, middle school, high school, sports, 6th
grade camp, clothing, dating, hobbies, graduation, etc.
Process 3:
Each group reaches consensus for 5 leisure-based events and 5
achievement-based events using the WebQuest Rubric. Students present
and evaluate PowerPoint presentations to class using WebQuest Rubric.
