Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Here is a project which might interest you -- if you haven't done a project with others before, this one looks easy enough for everyone! Let me know if you join in! Gail Lovely www.GailLovely.com From: susan silverman <comsewogue@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Call for Collaboration: Whale Tales Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2004 16:16:01 -0800 (PST) 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.
