Teaching
Suggestions:
(1)
This project requires approximately 4 weeks to complete therefore, allow
for ample time with the Computers for research and the creation of brochures
and graphic organizers.
(2)
A word processing program may be used instead of Desktop Publisher to create
brochures. Divide the page into 3 columns before beginning, so the page
can later be folded like a brochure.
(3)
If students are not familiar with using the Internet, I would advise you
to spend some time prior to this WebQuest orienting them to the web.
(4)
Model the final project you would like them to create.
(5)
Guide students through their first day exploring web sites. (6) Remind
students that they should not spend too much time searching and no time
writing.
(7)
Teachers should constantly monitor progress and encourage students to stay
on task.
(8)
Make certain that every member of the group (3-4 students) participates
on the assignment. Every child should benefit from this project.
Welcome
all teachers and students! Take a look at our local community, Boiling
Springs, North Carolina! This is a brochure especially designed for
2nd graders, who are studying communities. Enjoy!
