Week Three

Students were getting better in this week. Most them had a comprehensive understanding for this project. They started transfering information they collected last week to visuable sketches. It was glad to see that they were excited when we handed out foam boards and background paper, and nobody complained these large size boards.

We were trying to guide students find out particular animals, plants, landmarks and weather on their continents. Plus, we showed them how to quickly arrange their objects on foam boards by just drawing ovals, or rectangles. This method saved a lot time, and audience could imagine rough 3D landscape by these marks.

We look forward to see students making progress.

Week -Two


Attached is our Class Rules. :-)
While we were discussing rules, one of our students was writing them down. Look at her beautigul handwriting.

Week -Two

In this week, students continued to gather continent information, including special animals, plants, landmarks, and weather. Each student chose a particular season to describe in his/her project. It was convenient that students could use the computer lab to search their resources. After writing down all kinds of information, students started picking up unique features on their continents and combined these resources to create rough idea for their projects.

In addition, we also took photo for Class Rules which offer students an opportunity to supervise themselves.
