The objectives of the lesson were clearly stated to students. The lesson was engaging where the teacher model and guide students how to conduct research & to make use of relevant information provided to summarize and evaluate. The teacher also allowed students to conduct their own research through collaboration & also made information accessible by using hyperlinks, text books & rubrics. This made it easy for students to make their own summary. I also liked that the teacher did self reflection & student reflection. This allowed the teacher to use these data to identify varying abilities & to provide extra support through differentiated activities. The teacher also recognized barriers in the environment where not all student may have access to the internet so textbooks were also available.
This lesson provides teacher modeling and the gradual release to students using the I do , we do , you do model. Students are able to use a variety of resources online and books. Students collaborate with partner during research. Teacher provides list of topics students are required to research. The produce is a sheet of researched facts. Could students have produced a video or podcast to present their research?
I recently just moved from an area that did not have access to internet. Research projects require the internet. I think it would be fair to offer ample amount of time in class for the research portion of the project for those who don't have access to the internet.
I like the design of the gradual release in this lesson and the ways students will be involved in taking ownership in their research and learning.

This website offers key websites to view. It allows to gather the information from print to digital sources. It provides a list of sources to use. Students can build their knowledge through the investigation of the different aspects of the topic. It allows the information to be integrated through writing or speaking.
Since it uses key websites it allows the students to easily filter so they will not be over distracted or overwhelm when doing their research.

This resource offers some key websites that can be used to access the research, which is a good way to help filter for students who may be easily distracted or overwhelmed.
Student products are focused on a written format, so it could be remixed to add a variety of ways that students could represent their learning in case students would benefit from talking about the country (making a tour guide podcast?)
