Coming up with a final project is hard for me. There are 4 girls currently attending our school. Two are middle schoolers, 2 in high school. In order to find one project they could all participate in, I have chosen "Getting to Know Others" from iEARN. This project will allow the girls to explore their own culture as well as exploring other cultures from around the world. They will be using Social Studies Standards as well as Writing Standards when they include information about the particular culture of our area. They will use the internet to research information, then communicate it through a word processor, linking it to the iEARN site. Due to restrictions on the computers for this class, they will need to be closely monitored. Therefore, we will have 2-3 30 minute sessions for researching the culture and traditions of our area. Then they will have an additional 60-90 minutes to record their findings. Finally, they will post their findings and browse other cultures taking part in this project. This will span 2-3 30 minute sessions.
