Explorer Reports

This month we are learning more about the great European explorers.  The students have broken into groups and researched their explorer. 

Notice the sticky notes.  Table teams did a "gallery walk" to see the other student's posters.  They noted their constructive criticism on these stickies.  This is the first experience we have had putting together posters.  Students are learning about colors, scale, gluing before they completely lay it all out, and working together.    We were missing a couple of explorer posters, so the students are learning about deadlines too.  I am pleased with their first attempt and I look forward to more projects.  







Later this week, we will dress up like our explorer and present a "living museum" that we will record on our green screen.  (Look for that post soon.)  They will also present their knowledge in a Puppet Pals presentation using the IPads.  (Look for that soon too!)
