We are in the Library T and W

We are going to work on our rainforest Tic Tac Toe in the library. Bring all your materials. Email any electronic work to do.

This site can help us too:

If you are finished you could do extra credit TTT or other work.

Assignment date changed

We didn't get as far as I thought on our 2 skinny days.

I will not be assigning the culture worksheet until Friday and Monday.

It will be due for Day 1 on Tuesday and Day 2 on Wed of next week.

I hope to have a lot of finished in class.

Culture and the Embera

We are going to learn about culture by using the Embera culture as a mirror for ours. The Embera live in the rainforests of Panama and live a more traditional lifestyle. These sheets will help students understand what every culture has. We are going to do a lot of it in class together. The last bits that do not get finished will be assigned for homework. They will not be due until Friday or Monday.

Couple odd pics from Panama this summer to go along with our unit

Website to help with Tic Tac Toe

http://www.kn.att.com/wired/fil/pages/listrainforemr1.html

This site could help students with their projects. I put this together as a list of website.

There are also simulations and actions to help protect rainforests.

The site is under construction so it should keep changing.

Let me know if you find a good site I could add.

Tic Tac Toe Notes

The purpose of this project is to get the students to explore alternative ways to present information. Quality will be another goal.

*One note I made was to not allow students to take pictures off the internet. I was trying to keep with the copyright discussion we had. Students CAN take pictures from the internet but they must site their source. They need to reference the photographer if possible and list the web address.

I would like to see as much of their work as possible, so please balance using pictures off the internet and the student's own creations. I feel developing their own skills is better than using someone's already proven skills.

Look at the rubrics for grading and the suggestions for expectations.

Have fun. If it isn't fun, find something else.
