Weather Watch Students exchange, compare, and graph weather information with other students across the country and around the world. This is a great way to measure and compare the impact of pollution, and other environmental factors. Comparisons between latitude, shadow length, and time of year can be analyzed. Right Students conduct surveys, collecting and comparing food, gas, or clothing prices from around the world. Each story-starter is sent to a predetermined class, where students add a new section to the story.
Stories rotate to the different classes until reaching the original class.
Tales to Tell Exchange and collect regional, ethnic, and urban folktales from various parts of the world. Make a Monster Students write an original, detailed description of a monster. Descriptions are sent to another class. Students in the second class create a picture of the monster from the written description. Results are displayed with the text in both classrooms or posted on the Web.
