Lesson ideas for English 7 Database: Students are required by the state to read at least 25 books per year. Students could be required to create a database that lists titles, authors, genres, # of pages, opinions, etc.of each book they read. This couldbe kept up through out the school year and be assessed as an end of yearproject. It could then also be complied as a great reference for kids that are choosing books. Spreadsheet: Students do research on different authors through out the school year. They could put together a spread sheet containing information about each author recording the date of birth and death of each author. The spreadsheet would then calculate the age of death for each author entered. This could also be correlated with a history lesson on the different time periods the authors lived in and the average life expectancy at that time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The new MSN 8:[1] smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* --- Links --- 1 http://g.msn.com/8HMDENUS/2737 ------------------------------------------------------------ Class website: http://www.greece.k12.ny.us/taylor/suny/ ------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this listserv, go to: //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=edi581 If you have any problems, send an e-mail to: JerryTaylr@xxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------------
