=Week 8 Lab - Production Workout=

For this week, W200 students will be working in groups on creating a collaborative artifact that is based on a topic (see list below for ideas), in which they will be producing a deliverable that focuses on getting students to think about how to conduct a production-oriented task with their own future students.

//**For example:**// a group is tasked with creating an activity called "Leaves of indiana" for their hypothetical students. For this example, a class could be divided into groups, and each group would have to offer a proposal of how they would create a production-task activity if they were a teacher. In this document/proposal, they need to list potential tools they would use, why they would use these tools, provide samples as needed of what the final product their students would produce would be like - a collaborative analysis of how to use a production tool (with samples) in a specific context. This could be a report with graphics, a report with a sample k-12 student project (or pieces of an example), a PPT presentation that promotes this group of W200 student's proposal for this project, etc.

Please put your variations on the deliverable below, so we have this as a pool to draw on - and so we have an idea of the different ways people are executing the same process in class (getting W200 students to think about production task/tools like a teacher).
