Indagación: Zonas de Chile

Comenzamos la semana pasada con este trabajo grupal de indagación, y ya llevamos varias clases investigando sobre las diferentes zonas de Chile. Como se mostró y explicó en clases, esta actividad será evaluada con las siguientes herramientas:

1)Lenguaje: la parte escrita es personal y será evaluada con este checklist.



2) Ciencias Sociales: la presentación es grupal y será evaluada con esta rúbrica.



Por favor no olviden que es sumamente importante siempre dar crédito a las fuentes que usé para mi investigación.
