Hey group I have sent an invite to each one of you to the Google Document check your emails.
So far we have agreed on comparing weather across the country through Epals.
We need a specific grade level and Location.
Angela said we should break up the class into groups and choose location.
I would like one location to be California. What grade level were you'll thinking? Maybe 3rd grade because I want the class to be able to read and write.
At what point will the class contact these students? I was focusing on which season should we have the project. I am unsure of when exact should the students contact them.
What kind of questions will the students be asking?
Maybe What is their favorite season?
What are their favorite activities to do during the summer?
What do they do for fun?
Maybe even favorite television shows?
Can they send a picture of themselves?
Have they ever visited any states? Things of that nature?
What will they do with the information they will receive?
I was thinking maybe creating a poster board or PowerPoint of the information they received to present to the class.
Let me know what you think! Fill free to add this to the Google Document if agreed upon as a start.
I actually said that haha, but we could do one in Texas for the SW region, then maybe Tennessee for the SE, and New York or something for the NE? It doesn't really matter to me.
ReplyDeleteI like using 3rd grade students. I think Winter would be a good season to start doing E-pals because there will be different types of weather in each state chosen. I also like the questions you have posted. They should also talk about how the weather is in their area since that is what our project is on.
I agree with using 3rd grade for this. I think that at that point students should be mature enough to handle having a pen pal in another state. I added some changes to the document. I think that the more questions we add than the more the students will learn about each other.
DeleteI posted the things I stated in the document. Add or change anything that you would like to it. I'm not going to be able to turn it in tommorow because I will be working all day.
ReplyDeleteI added Florida
