We are comparing landmarks in Kalamazoo to landmarks in France. We chose France because they have many historic castles and other places of importance. Culturally we are different because we have a government based on equality and Europe's governments almost promote hierarchy in society.
- Who are the students your students will communicate with (specific location, grade level)?
- When would your students contact these other students (at what point in their project work)?
- What kinds of questions would they ask each other and what kinds of information would they share?
- What will they do with the information they get from the other students?
1. We would want our 4th grade students to communicate with students that are in the fourth grade and live in France and go to a school called Atelier des Arts in Tours, France
2. We want our students to start communicating with the other students when we reach our point in the unit on historical landmarks.
3. The first thing that we would want our students to ask the other students is what they would want to know about historical landmarks near our location (ex. times they could tour, it's importance).Then we would have the students at Lincoln International Elementary school ask the students at Atelier why they have castles and who lives there and what they do.
4. Students would then research the answers to the questions asked by the students of the other school. The information would be relayed in email or blog. Once the information has been shared, students will create a Venn Diagram comparing and contrasting each area. Students may also do a presentation on their favorite landmark with a poster and some fun facts about what that landmark is about.
