| In Mr. Norman's classroom the five themes
of geography were studied. A pre-survey was given prior to the beginning
of the assignment. You can view this document below by clicking on
it. Students then worked in cooperative groups of two, three or four to
chose a city. Students researched the Internet, brochures, and books to
find information on their city. They were to find facts on each of
the five themes of geography about their city that they chose. Next,
they were given instruction in Web Page Design. In the Learning Center
they learned how to use the Learning Village software. Then, each
student typed in their information, added pictures, and created lists of
resources. Last, they typed their Bibliography. Several corrections
to the web pages were made with the help of peers. When they were
finished, they were given time to visit the other web pages and write in
the guest book on the page something positive about the page. A post survey
was given following the completion of the Learning Village web pages. |
