Hey group, Hope your having a good week. Michelle I read your post and you are asking great questions but I am a little confused on the project. I was wondering if you guys might be able to meet sometime this week to work on it together?

PodCast

Hey group,
Hope everyone is having a good week. So we have two weeks to work on our collaborative pod casts. What role would everyone like to take? One person will be responsible for putting it together and adding music. The purpose is for PBL and to explain to our parents what we are doing. What are everyone's thoughts?

Chapter 5

Hey group,
Hope everyone had a great week. I really enjoyed this weeks chapter; it made me think outside of the box a bit and consider all the different types of resources I could use in my classroom. Technology is extremely useful when implemented effectively. I also learned alot after writing my paper about Fair Use.

Hey Group! Hope everyone's week is off to a good start. For our lesson plan this week it looks like we each need to write a lesson plan about a different part of the concept map. I was thinking I would write my lessons on types of weather to report. If anyone else wanted to cover this area let me know and i can write a lesson for a different area of the plan.

This map will be used by students as a point of reference.  This will help students have a better understanding of where there pen-pals are located.  Students will also be able to compare and contrast the location of the two areas as well as the geographic features that affect the weather.  Students will be able to compare these two locations in relationship to the equator, major bodies of water and mountain ranges.   Students may use this map for cross-curricular learning.  Students could write about the similarities and differences of the two locations (Writing), read about Mexico’s weather (Reading), find the difference in temperature and precipitation (Math), learn about the culture and history of Mexico (Social Studies), and study vegetation and types of animals native to the area (Science).
