I went to Itunes technology in lesson plans and found a great lesson plan called Pirate map. This was for grades k-2, it was to help student work together to accomplish a task. The subject matter of this lesson was geography,knowing North, South, East, and West, and learning to measure length and distance.
They started out by taking pictures of North, South, East, and West and making their own compasses. Then the teacher made a video introducing a pirate, he told the students that they needed to follow the map in order to find the treasure. Then the students were asked to hold on to a rope with a distance of 1 yard between each student. they did this as a group ad headed outside to find the treasure. They worked together to measure out distances from the map to find the treasure, making it a collaborative learning process. The teacher made sure that the students congratulated the other students in working together to complete a task.
I found this video cast to be great! It makes learning fun for students when you put an activity with the subject. It also helps them remember how to do things and that they can count on each other if they need help.
