Project update for 3/15/12

Tonight I created 2 rubrics to evaluate the students' work using "rubistar". I also created a survey for the to critique and express their feelings towards this project. We are patiently waiting for our friends in Ghana to write to us this week. While we were waiting this week, we watched a great 20 minute video on "united streaming" that followed a young girl through daily life in Ghana. We saw how they lived, played, learned in school, and did daily chores. Their culture and festivals were touched upon. My students can't wait to ask our epals about some of the games they saw the children play in phys. ed. and want to know if they play them too. Very exciting unit!!
