3. Google My Maps: Nanaimo Historical Tour:

WOW! We did it! Our class has been studying the history of Nanaimo. We decided to find out who famous landmarks were named after. After researching people and places we went on a field trip and visited the landmarks. All students took pictures and videos. Back at school, our teacher created a google my map. We then made movies, did voice overs and embedded the movies into our my map. When you click on a balloon (on our map), our movies and voices will explain about the person behind the landmark. Enjoy!

To access full view and the movies, you must click here: "View Nanaimo Historical Landmarks in a larger map ". On the larger map, it is easier getting to a specific location by clicking on a title in the side key. You can even use google maps to go to street level and visit the sites.

ALL SOUND PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED!

Transformation: Some books change the way we think!

Your chance to join 7 & 8 year olds as they:

learn about the influence resilience has on friendship
experience a deeper understanding of "opening the door" to new friendships
begin to understand that some books change the we think: teaching "synethsis" and "big idea"
learn the relationship between "summarizing" and "synthesis"

I will be posting background information (resilience, transformation of thinking, summarizing), teaching strategies (actually turning out like a daily blog, explaining step by step what I do each day), BLM, and examples of student work as we use this amazing story (Owen and Mzee) of an unexpected friendship to teach reading strategies, the importance of resilience and friendship. Join in as an observer or a participant. (Click on "Link to Main Page above to access)
