למידה, אינטרנט ... ומה שביניהם

to get my sixth graders re-focused on usage and paragraphing and a few other skills, along with researching and finding information and then reporting it out accurately, I started to design a lesson using “The Important Book” by Margaret Wise Brown.

I melded the simple pattern from the book with doing research to come up with a way to practice both. I also took into account that students like mine that are lacking in schema often don’t get excited about many topics because they often lack the base understanding that makes things interesting and engaging.

Get students published, and they start to edit themselves and want to write more. Require everything to be perfect, and you stifle writing and the willingness to self edit.

Maps tell a story. And that's what my Human Geography students and I talked about today. We talked about how you could lay a map of something as seemingly innocuous as how people describe soft drinks over the context of patterns of human habitation and find a telling correlation.
