Hey girls, So, we each have to do a seperate lesson plan of something the students would need to know for our project. I was thinking about doing mine on interview techniques. Which area would you guys like to do ?

Google docs link

This is the link to our Google Doc for part 1.

idea

What if we make the assumption that our pen pals are doing the same research project as we are, that way we could collaborate with them throughout the whole process.

Google Maps




This is a map that shows Kalamazoo, MI and Moonta, South Australia. It shows the distance between one another, which is important for students to see; to understand just how far away they are from their pen pals.

Map

What do you guys think we should do for our map?  We should show the locations of kalamazoo and the town of the other students, but should we add anything else to it?

Ok, so we have to decide what type of assignment we are going to do for this weeks assignment.  I am not entirely sure what we should do, maybe we could create an assignment in which students would find out about the history of how their city started or something to do with local culture and compare and contrast with students from another part of the world who learned about the same thing about their city?? What do you guys think?  That was just the only type of idea that came to mind, so let me know if you have any different ideas.  I will create the google doc and invite you both to it so we can get started on it whenever you have time.  Also, I don't mind creating the map once we get going on the first part and posting it for us if you want.  But, I don't have any idea what kind of map to create yet, hopefully it will be easier once we get going on creating the assignment.

Concern

I am wondering after completing the web evaluations if you found any websites that had references and could be used as a scholarly source. The websites I evaluated could be used for our project but did not seem like they would qualify as a scholarly source.

Website Evaluations

These are the three websites that I am going to evaluate. We need to collaborate our evaluations onto one sheet to turn in so we aren't turning in three separate sheets.
