Lesson Plan 2

I cant remember what you girls said you were doing for your second lesson plan (i think one of you said that you were doing favorite types of weather), but I will be doing my lesson plan on something to do with collecting weather over a period of time and putting their data into a graph...maybe weather patterns, forecasts, or predictions??

let me know what you are doing too so we don't do the same!!

Podcast

For the podcast, I will be talking about the importance of having a complex idea for the project, tapping rich data sources (researching websites, books, etc..and using a hot list), and how this drives the students' learning experiences.

I ended up doing my youtube project on Precipitation because it seemed more relevant for our overall project.
