Samples
(Part 3):
A hot list is simply a list of Web
sites for students to use as a resource. It saves time by eliminating the
need for students to search for appropriate sites. A hot list does not always
promote higher level thinking. However, after using a hot list, students
could engage in a higher level thinking activity. For example, after reading
the information in the President's Day hot list, students could create a Venn
Diagram to compare George Washington to Abraham Lincoln. Take time to look
at each of the following samples of hot lists created by other teachers.
South
America
Stephen
F. Austin
Rainforest
Frogs
Amazing
Spiders
Matter
Egyptian
Art
President's Day
Many other hot lists can be found
at the Region
20 Web site.
