Hi girls-
I am just thinking ahead because I am in a wedding this coming week so I need to start working on this weeks assignments. I am going to create a google doc by Wednesday with a draft to a Pen Pals assignment. I will make it so we can all edit and then you guys can add/change whatever you're thinking. We have to pick where out class's pen pals will be from. Any thoughts? Our students will be writing them about their weather, specifically, so we might want to consider somewhere with different weather from Michigan. Some ideas might be: Washington (state), North Carolina, Hawaii, Australia. (I don't know, I randomly came up with these. We can find an interesting city/elementary school. What do you think?)
The other part of this week is the google maps assignment. We have to decide how we want to incorporate this into our assignment. Any ideas? I'm thinking some sort of weather map activity? But I don't have any ideas on how that will work.
Talk to you guys soon! :)
I like your idea for the virtual Pen Pals. I definitely think we need to focus on somewhere that has a different climate or weather pattern than here, that way our students get to learn about more variation in weather based on location around the world.
ReplyDeleteI too am not so sure of how we could work out the weather map activity, but I'm going to take a closer look at the instructions and go from there. (:
Ok- well i will give it a go with a draft tomorrow and we can go from there =]
ReplyDeleteOkay--I was way ahead of myself. I will post the draft of the google doc. by tomorrow. Sorry, girls. Busy, busy week. :)
