Homework Assignment

You have completed 6 hours of instruction in Project WET. To earn Environmental Education Certification credit, the NC Office of Environmental Education requires the completion of 8-hour homework assignment equivalent to 4 hours of instruction (6 workshop hours + 8/2 homework hours = 10 TOTAL).

Note: The NC Depart of Public Instruction counts homework as ½ time.

Option A: Plan, conduct, and evaluate any two activities with your students from the Project WET Teacher’s Guide,

-or-

Option B: Create, test, and evaluate one original activity covering water resource issues in North Carolina. “Original” can be a brand new lesson; a short water issue lesson that is greatly expanded to increase its content depth or greatly integrated with another school subject; or an existing water lesson that is given a creative twist so it is refreshingly “new”.

Both Option A and Option B require:

1.  Lesson Plan: Submit a lesson plan using the Project WET lesson plan format. List or note any modifications or deviations from activity instructions that you made in order to adapt the activity to your grade level or other instructional needs. Submit two lesson plans for Option A.

2.  Student Work Samples: Include samples of lesson work such as an activity worksheets or written activity evaluations from 2 to 5 students. (For primary students, the teacher can interview 3 to 5 students and record their comments on the activity in writing.) For Option B, include any and all worksheets, data graphs, etc. that would be needed to conduct the original lesson.

3.  Teacher Evaluation: Enclose your evaluation of the success of the two Project WET activities or your one original water conservation activity.
