CD is burned!

OK CASSIE this is the final Resources Page that will be put in the folder, this is your digital version.

Paul, The resources look good. If you get time to edit for the printed version, it would be great if we put a space between each resource. It is very difficult to read. Jen

Cassie...I fixed the unit plan and it should be good to go. Just so you know your lesson plans look great except I would maybe make the time longer and - cue is not spelled que - no worries though - just wanted to let you know. Please check my work and let me know of any corrections I need to make. I just to complete my sample and my checklist - but if they can not make it into the digital version so be it. I am not even sure if she looks at the digital version much anyway. I will be back online in just a little bit I am sure. :-)

Sorry! I got this too late and already printed out Resources! :-( If I have time I will change it but I have something going on tonight that I completely forgot about and I am not sure if I will be able to make the change.

Resources (Can we change the tab to Bibliography?) if not I will do it both ways. Here You go.



Cassie, I am so sorry - I am sometimes just blind. I am more then happy to add the objectives to the Unit Plan, and will do my 100% best to finish my documents before 7 tonight. As we all have been I have taken on too much this week. So sorry.

As for the tabs, I think the Unit Plan should go first, then the ASSURE model and the rest as you have it.

Everything you all created it great. Just knowing second graders, I think the lessons should be two 30 minute periods. - They take forever to complete anything. Even the KWL could take 5 - 8 minutes (they write slow). :-) Just a suggestion.

Jen

Jen, on the rubric, the points are 1 for poor, 2 for fair, 3 for good... they are at the top. Also, do you want us to add our own objectives to the unit plan or are you going to take from our lesson plans?

I am going to get the Tabs done tonight at 5. I need to verify what the tabs SHOULD be and the Order. If you think they should say something different please let me know!

Furthermore, I need to make the CD. I have everything gathered (I think) except Jen's lesson plans and the unit plan and the Paul's resources. || || ||

Here is the new underwater world lesson plan with corrections.



Here is the desert lesson plan with the corrections



Here is my ASSURE Model. Let me know if you want to see corrections. I will not be able to post my lessons until tomorrow. I am so sorry if that will make it harder for the digital version to be put together, I have really been under the weather this week and am barely plugging along.

Jen

Cassie -

Rubric looks good, but don't we need numerical values to assign a grade? Also, there is a typo on the last one. Question is missing the n.

Thanks - jen

Paul,

Here are some research articles that I pulled that could work as our Peer Reviewed Research. Hope I pulled enough info that you can create a work cited page. Also here are some of my websites. I think I might end up having more - but it is what I have at this point. http://www.pbs.org/ journeyintoamazonia/about.html http://chalk.richmond.edu/ education/projects/webunits/ biomes/ http://www.srl.caltech.edu/ personnel/krubal/rainforest/ Edit560s6/www/whlayers.html http://passporttoknowledge. com/rainforest/intro.html 1.

Jen

Here is the rubric [] please let me know if anything needs to be changed! Jen, here are my lesson plans and my other rubric for my second lesson.

Here is the Unit Plan... I still need to add my objectives and same with Cassie. I am worried that our assessment and student outcomes is very weak! Please feel free to edit and add in anyplace you feel is necessary.



Hey guys,

working on the Curriculum Unit Plan, and I am wondering if Gunter will be ok with just our assessment being the passport. What do you think? I am particularly worried about this since we have to identify the learning outcomes and how they will be measured.

Also Paul, I took a closer look at your lesson plans. They look GREAT! I just think that one 30 minute session will not be long enough. I think we should change it to 2 30 minute sessions. Just a suggestion.

Jen

Ok this website I just found is really nice. []

Paul.... Wow!!! Everything looks great! I am going to try to get everything up by tonight. It has just been a crazy week for me. Have a great time at Harry Potter! I wish I was going too. :-)

If I can I will work on an agenda/ script for us for Sat.

Hope all is going well with all of you!

Jen

I am going to the mid wife consultation and then HARRY POTTER!!!! I will have my phone on me (407) 462-6920 if you have any questions I believe I am ready except for the work cited page.

Here is the Digital Version of the Reflection:



Here is the .doc version of reflection for editing.

Here is the Digital Theoretical Framework:

Here is the word doc. in case someone wants to edit it.

Here are the Desert digital ones: Here is my lesson plan for desert:

Cassie her some of my digital content

==

here is my lesson plan for underwater biome: Someone please review and make changes as necessary

=I like the cover page as is- Paul=

=Script would be like this:= 1. Introductions 2. Cassie Lesson Biomes 3. Handout Passports 4. Introduce Savannah 5. Students fill out KW of KWL for Savannah in Passport 6. Activity 7. Students fill out L of KWL for Savannah 8. Stamp students who have completed activity and KWL for Savannah 9. Transition to Underwater World 10. Repeat 4-9 =Lesson Plans:=

I am not sure if we want to have parts of our lesson plans be "standard" such as the accomendation section, we should all have the same thing, maybe for some lessons have the same classroom management sections (when we have them doing computer work it should say "monitor computer activity") but a standard for when we don't and a standard set of accomendations. Here is the first lesson plan I got done. Tell me what you guys think. Also, Paul this has some of my links on it!

Jennifer is this site too advanced for 2nd grade? I cannot find a good search for students to identify what biome florida is in, this is the only good site i found and they kind of have to search for it... [] also for the ecosystems of florida this is what I found. Once again is it too advance? [] thinking of showing them a map to show that for a biome florida is all the same thing but use this map to show ecosystems []

=Disscussion:=

The script was paul's idea, I am cool with it but I don't think it needs to be crazy detailed. The way I figured that this was going to work was I was going to start with the biome intro, then you were going to go to the savannah, then paul was going to go with the oceans and then I was going to close out. But the order dosn't matter so much, not that I can figure. As far as having things standard is what's on my lesson ok or do you want to change it, and if so, change it to what? What is the overall title of our unit? I need to know for the cover page. Oh, by the way here is what I have for the cover page so far. - Cassie

Cassie... I agree that our accomodations/ management should be rather standard.

I think that these sites will be fine. Particularly since in 2nd grade we explore a lot together - and we are talking about gifted students.

Thanks for finding the needed standards.. That is great....

My only questions is do you mean we need to create a script or an agenda? I agree we really do need to create an agenda.

Talk to you soon,

Ideas:

Here are some Ideas I had on my way home for setting up some of the stations. Since I am doing both the Tundra and Taiga I was thinking it would be neat to get some dry ice and have that going at my stations and maybe set up my stations so that they point geological north. What do you guys think?

Here is a web site that has some interestng info on it []
