Wiki Presidential Projec t

In this lesson students will be collaborating with another middle school via a wiki to report on the presidential primary elections. The students do not know who they will be communicating with – they just know that they are 8th graders. Students will pose as reporters to cover various aspects of the election; such as the issues, travel of the candidates, fashion and biographies of the candidates. This lesson combines many skills and addresses multiple Tech Literacy Standards primarily focusing on 21st Century Skills, such as collaborating and critical thinking skills.
