Pick at least three online projects from the list below to browse through. List the name of each project above the list of traits you pasted into your word processor. As you review each unit, rate the unit from 0 to 4 stars for how well it delivers on each trait.
0 stars = not at all
1 star = slightly
2 stars = fairly well
3 stars = well
4 stars = very well

You will have about 30 minutes to look at three units. That means you will have to move rapidly and just skim through the activities, not actually complete them.

At the end of the 30 minutes the whole group will discuss reactions to these units and to scaffolding.
