Penny's Activity

Hey guys, since I might actually have to do this lesson plan, it is not feasible to make it a "field trip." Therefore, I am abandoning the digital camera idea and replacing it with research on the internet. The students will still prepare a power point presentation.

Divide the class into 8 groups (3-4 in a group). Assign each group a topic related to their home community. (Restaurants, Arts & Entertainment, Activities, Attractions, Transportation, Worship, Homes, Fun Facts)
Give each group a URL or two and a list of questions to answer about their topic. Tell them if they find any interesting pictures to go with their topic to let me know. (I will show them how to save them.)
Students will be looking for things that are unique about their community as well as looking for several examples of their topic to show diversity.
Teacher will be monitoring students and assisting where needed.
