Objectives:
The students will be introduced to one of the thirteen chapters in our science book using PowerPoint presentations.

Assessment Strategies:
The students will answer the questions at the end of each of the four sections. They will answer the review questions at the end of the chapter. The students will take a chapter test.

Results:
The students will acheive scores of 60% for a grade of a "D", 70% for a "C", 80% for a "B", and 90% for an "A". [The PowerPoint presentations were completed but will not be presented until next fall, so there are no actual results to report at this time.]

Objectives:
My partner teacher will be able to send and receive e-mail and use a PowerPoint presentation in her teaching.

Assessment Strategies:
I will send my partner-teacher e-mails and interview her about how she liked using the PowerPoint presentations.
