| Description: | Looking for a urban or rural community to partner with to compare to our suburban community located 35 miles outside NYC. This will be aligned with our second grade unit on communities. Both classes will do some simple research on their partner community; formulate questions for their partner class; and compare their communities. Each class will have some kind of presentation for their partner class. Examples would be a powerpoint or photostory. This videoconference will be a Q & A format. Students can "test" eachother on what they know about their community from their research. An extension of this would be: Students may e-mail each other throughout the year if we choose to. At the end of the year, individual students can skype eachother to meet their partner. |
