Once again I have changed my learning adventure. This time Alex Frink and I are going to research what goes on in the mind of a serial killer. What they think, how they got that way, statistics about the types of killers, and many other facts to answer all the questions we have rolling around in our heads in a two week time period.
To do this we decided the best way to find our information is to do research on the internet, a little everyday. Also, Alex said there is a teacher at our school that knows a lot about serial killers and will be willing to answer some questions and help us out when we hit a problem or get stuck. This particular learning adventure promotes mastery because researching and collecting all this information will expand our learning, teaching us more and more every day.
Our main purpose is to learn as much as we can. We want to be able to share what we find with others and answer any questions they have. If our adventure is successful then we will be able to hold a full conversation about serial killers and their backgrounds with what we have found.
Here's a step by step plan of what we want to do, we set up a shared google document where we can keep all the information. We have a list of questions we want to answer and are going to research for an hour every day. We need to learn everything there is about the thought process of a serial killer, if their childhood has effected them, and statistics about most serial killers. Most of our information will be from the internet but Alex knows a teacher who we can talk to, she also has a lot of books we can look at. Any challenges we run into we can talk to her.
