In this lab students work individually or collaboratively on evaluating text. Using lists and dictionaries, students perform various functions on the text within Dr. Seuss's Green Eggs and Ham children's book. This lab is ideal for students looking to gain additional experience with lists and dictionaries.
Consider adding sections within the lab where students are required to discuss and debate among themselves the key features and benefits to performing these text analysis tasks as a way to encourage Student Interactions and make the context even more Meaningful and Relevant. Add methods of Collaborative Learning to the lab so students can work side by side and switch roles.
