Project
Activity 1: Classroom teachers would need to teach a lesson on the
history and environment of the area in which they live. This could
be done in several ways that best
suits
the needs of the individual teacher and classroom. If possible, I
would suggest allowing students to do research on the Net to obtain information
about their own town history.
If the
Net is not available, try to work with your librarian at school or the
public library. Many towns also have historical societies which are great
sources of information. After teachers faciliate a discussion on
what information is relevant they may want to assign students to record
and submit the information. Your information maybe submitted
in paragraph form or you may select to submitted it like a chart or graphic
organizer. Include information like resources, landmarks, climate,
landforms, history and heritage. Please include your
school's
URL and your town's URL if available.
Project
Activity 2: Teachers will have their students share their favorite place
to visit in their area. Students should select a site where they
have taken a field trip, describe
it,
and tell us why it's a great place to visit. Share information that
other students would like to hear about. You may submit your information
by email in an essay or poetry forms. Does your favorite place have their
own web page?
Please
include the URL so we can link that to our page.
