Many students are interested in
the Lemony Snicket books in the "Series of Unfortunate Events" and this
resulted in a desire to explore related web sites (particularly after
the movie debut). Students often use books from the series for
free reading and book report presentations. |

Kim Reybitz | Students first fill out a KWL
chart on the Titanic. Next, students complete a vocabulary lesson
on their computers using the dictionary program. The story,
"Exploring the Titanic" by Robert Ballard, is read in class. As a
culminating activity, students are encouraged to explore the various
web sites on the Titanic (as well as the related links) and share
something that they learned with the class. In addition, students
take a test on the story. |

I found a great site that offers
interactive presentations that are engaging and entertaining. It is
full of music, props and humor to add an element of fun. I actually used it to teach lessons on statistics using the projector. I think it would be also an excellent tool to put students on individually to reinforce concepts. Use the link, once you get to the site, skip the intro. Choose "Lessons" from the menu. The understanding and interpreting graphs lesson was excellent! I can't wait to try more. |

The first site is a great
interactive website for students to have a hands-on experience learning
about Egypt. It includes not only educational information, but games that reinforce these topics. The second site is a great website sponsored by the British Museum, which includes educational information and games that reinforce these topics. |

Amy Horwath (EH) |
Students can surf the web
looking for information on gods and goddesses from ancient
Egypt. With the information they find they are to
make a title down poem using the name of the god or goddess. If
students are not familiar with a title down poem, you will be required
to teach this. Most students, however, are familiar with this
type of poem. Each line may be a complete sentence or a sentence
fragment and should be punctuated as such. Student includes a
colored picture of the god or goddess along with the poem.
Students are graded according to correct punctuation, information
(correct or not), spelling, does it make sense?, colored picture
included?, site listed to show where information was found unless you
direct them to a specific site from my list of sites if you find
certain ones more appropriate than others. *Note: WARNING!!! Some gods/goddesses have names with only 2 letters in them. Some students may choose these gods to minimize effort needed to accomplish this lesson*Review entire site before giving to student to view...since my address includes MANY sites. |
