Podcast

Hi Ladies!

Since we have to post weekly I decided to make a new post for the links for our individual podcasts. I figured someone could just save the podcasts from their email and combine them all to send in by Sunday. Hope all is going well! :)

Collaborative Podcast

Hey group, I thought I would get a jump start on the next project. We need to do this collaborative podcast using Audacity. According to the directions we each need to talk about something different so I thought we could decide that early. She gave examples, such as someone can talk about why we chose to use project based learning, another can talk about why we have done so far and another can talk about what we plan to do from here, or what the overall project will be. What are you guys thinking about? I wouldn't mind talking about why we chose project based learning or what we have done so far. Just let me know! Thanks, Brianna

Lesson Plan Discussion

Hey ladies, I thought I would open up a discussion about what type of lesson you want to do. According to this weeks requirements we can't have the same lesson for our student, they have to be researching something different. So what are your thoughts? Looking at our concept map, our students can research... Designs Materials Tools Open House: advertisements and invitations Vocabulary and Building If you guys don't mind I will make my lesson plan about researching advertisements for our open house. Please let me know what you guys plan to do! Brianna Huffman

Virtual Penpals and Google Maps

Part A:

Part B:


The students will use this map to explore different building structures in Indonesia. They can choose one or two of the marked place on the map and discuss with their penpals. If their penpals have seen or been inside any of the buildings, they can describe them. Students can also use google earth to view these buildings on their own.

Map

So, I was thinking since we are using Indonesia for part A, maybe we could use the capital of Indonesia, Jakarta for part B. It looks like it is a pretty big city. It could be beneficial for the penpals to talk about not only the houses, but also the other building structures in the city. We might not want such a huge map for 1st graders, so maybe if we picked a block or two in Jakarta? Let me know what you ladies think of that?
