Students will have a whale of a time
participating in this cross-curricular collaborative project!

Who: Students in grades K- 4 (ages 6 - 9)

What: Classes will read a book as a springboard for an activity of their 
choice. The class may choose any project(s) to share on the project website. 
Some 
ideas:
Write & illustrate whale poems or stories.
Compare & contrast different kinds of whales using Kidspiration or 
Inspiration (or your own venn diagram).
Research and graph the different sizes of whales.
Create and photograph whale dioramas or mobiles.
Read about whales in folklore history and write your own folktale about an 
imaginary whale.
Learn about environmental damage to our oceans and how it effects marine life 
and specifically, whales. Brainstorm solutions and write to lawmakers with 
these suggestions.
Research threats to marine wildlife and whales and create posters to educate 
others. Photograph these for inclusion on the project site.

When: The project begins on February 15, 2004. Materials are due by Earth Day 
(April 22, 2004). The work will be published by April 30, 2004.

Where: Your learning experience can take place in the classroom, computer 
lab, media center, and even at home.

Why: Because it is an exciting topic and meets state and NETS standards. Even 
if oceans and marine life are not part of your curriculum, this project is a 
wonderful way to celebrate Earth Day.

How:E-mail your registration information to: whaletales2004@xxxxxxxxx
Include your name, grade, school, town and url
Project Coordinators: Linda Brandon, Pattie Knox and Susan Silverman
