We started the Central/South American Country project yesterday, but were thwarted today by lack of battery power! Instead of doing research, 4th, 5th, and 6th hours watched a movie about Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
Tomorrow, May 3, 3rd hour needs to have their five facts about the Government/Economy of their countries. Examples of potential information were given today, and 3rd Hour was able to work on the Chrome books.
Tomorrow, we will continue with research. I have explained to the kids that their facts need to have a reference point.
For example, a fact such as : 20-25 degrees (C) has NO meaning! I don't know if this is the best temperature for drying fruit, the best temperature for swimming......... You get the point.
Instead, the facts should be written like this:
The average daily temperature of Germany in 20-25 degress (C).
Please ask to see your child's work; ask that they explain their facts to you. Part of this project will be presenting the country information to the rest of the class, so it would be great for them to practice with a friendly audience. It's a good way make sure that everything sounds "reasonable".
This project will be due on the following dates. Students who are creating a powerpoint can just e-mail their work to me :)
Third Hour - due May 9
Fourth, Fifth, Sixth Hours - due May 10
If there are changes in due date, which could happen, I will post the adjusted dates.
Thanks,
Cathy
