Assignment XI

So we are making a website which combines all the lessons and projects we have made for our bird unit. The directions are quite long with lots of information so I think the best way to start would be to map out how we want to organize it I think and figuring out how we are going to do it. I don't think I will be able to do most of the work until next week but I think we can get a good start on it this week. What do you think?

Assignment IX and X

Assignment IX- we need to decided what area aspect we would like to focus on for the podcast and what to areas from our book we would like to use. I think it would be easiest for both of us to type up a script and send it to each other that way we know what the other person is saying so it is not repeated. Assignment X- We each need to post our topic for our lesson plan two. Is it very similar to our first one? I am not sure what areas we have left to choose from because it has to be from our overall topic.

Google Map

Assignment VII Part A

Hi guys! I hope you’re lessons turned out good. I thought since both of the group assignments have collaboration I thought it would be a good idea to separate them out into two posts. I started playing around with the Google Documents and started the document and sent Allison an invite to your Gmail yet I need yours Kristens. Can you e-mail it to me or post it? Also do we add Woodard when we are done or while we are working on it? I wanted to check with you guys to see what information we should use and brainstorming will probably be the easiest on the blog. So we each need to add and review/edit what is posted on this document. Are we still sticking with the same grade? I ended up using second grade standards for my lesson. What about you guys? I think what every grade we decide on should be the same as the penpal group and it should also be a different type of environment then around here so maybe somewhere with really wet or dry climate. What do you think?

Assignment V and VI

I hope you all thought the concept map was okay. We had a lot of ideas and little space for me to fit everything so I tried to pick what was most important and add it all in there. So our next assignment (assignment V) has us all picking a topic and doing a lesson plan on it. It would probably be easiest if we all just pick one of the areas from the concept map. I kind of already have some research on species from doing the concept map so I don't mind doing that one, unless someone else has some really good ideas for it and would like to do it. For assignment VI we all need to evaluate 3 websites. It would probably be the easiest if we used some of the sites that we are using for our topics from assignment VI, do you guys think we can do that? Let me know what you are thinking!
