Adult,+Teacher,+Librarian+Materials

Adult/Teacher/Librarian Materials Here are ome addtional resources on Euthanasia that might help guide students in their information quest. Some of the articles provide a link to listen for those who like books on discs. Also provided in the student resources are two videos students may wish to refer to in thier debate. With the increasing use of electronic materials, webquests are a great way to help guide students in the information inquiry process. It is a way for teachers/librarians to monitor what information the students are using as they complete thier work.

The posts online are a way to help students say what's on thier mind when they otherwise might not say during an inclass discussion. Some students may not like to talk in class but have great ideas to share. And it is a good way to help those students who have trouble with public speaking--it will supplement thier grade a little.

One thing that could be done during the students' webquest is to bring in a guest speaker--a professional who is knowledgable about Cerebral Palsy. This would give the students the opportunity to ask a professional questions about the topic.

Also, a video on a well known Assisted Suicide case could be shown--perhaps the Terri Schiavo case. Here are a couple of resources on Terri Schiavo.
