Any Takers?

Posted by karenklieg on July 18, 2007 at 11:43pm
Anyone interested in participating in a place-based storytellingproject I am creating? This will be a research project for a fourthgrade class studying Native Americans. My class will be focusing on NewYork State tribes; I am looking for other classes from the originalcolonies area. The project will incorporate:
  • research about the tribes
  • podcasting
  • locating and placing each tribe on an interactive Google map, with links back to podcasts and perhaps a wiki
  • writing original Native American legend/tale/myth
  • sharing information with participating classes

Students will work in groups. All information and teacher instructions will be included.

The project will be up and running by mid-September and will be posted on MidLink Magazine .

    Karen...I'll check the link around Labor Day. I'd have to talk this up with the 4th grade Social Studies teacher, and of course, the administration. We have a faculty in-service during the last week of August, so I won't be able to sell this before then.

    Rosanne,
    No, that is not a problem and yes there will be specific topics, instructions, and more. I have not published the unit yet, I am still working on it and it should be published on the net by Labor Day.

    Our 4th grade also researches Pa tribes but usually the research doesn't begin until January. If the project begins in September, would this be a problem? How is the research structured? Are there specific topics to be researched? Is the original myth a group activity? This sounds like a fresh approach to a standard research assignment. Can you elaborate more on what is required?
