We not only visit with our grandparent, but we also sing carols and visit with other residents. Mary Carter, a teacher at East Middle School in Youngstown, Ohio, submitted this week's lesson, which has students completing a unit of activities about birds. In this semi-glyph activity, students share their interests and characteristics by making patches about themselves. The patches are then pieced together to make a class quilt for a wall or bulletin board. The quilt serves as a jumping stone for many other activities.
Students use characters, settings, and plots to write original stories.
Students will learn about stock car racing while developing skills in language and math. Students learn about the history of baseball while incorporating computer skills, reading skills, and writing abilities. In this lesson students learn how to work in cooperative groups to create their own businesses. Each student will write the directions for making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and ask another student to follow the directions and make the sandwich. This WebQuest is designed to engage students in Internet research while learning about the history of ancient Egypt.
