Mathematics Sun and Shadows Students throughout the world measure the length of shadows cast at the same time on the same date. 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. Language Arts Round Robin Stories Students in participating classes start a story. Each story-starter is sent to a predetermined class, and the students add a new section to the story.
Stories continue to rotate to the different classes until each story reaches the original class.
Graphics can be added to illustrate the stories or create a book. Compare common themes, and discover what makes each story unique. 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.
