Everglades-United Streaming Video

2. Next, your group needs to click here and pull up your question worksheet. Using the Resource page, your group must use the different websites to find the answers to your questions.



3. Your group needs to use all the information you have learned and pretend that you are exploring the Everglades. What are some of the things you saw? What parts of the Everglades did you visit? What did you learn? What challenges did you face? Here is an example: My Trip Through the Everglades. Each group needs to work together and create a creative online journal. You must pretend that you are actually there. You will use this blogging website to create your online journal: Blogger. Your group needs to be creative and make the viewer feel like they are in the Everglades. You must have at least 5 entries in your online journal and provide exactly what you did that day, what you saw that day and what you learned that day.



4. When everybody is finished creating their online journal, each group will present in front of the class. This will be part of your grade!



5. Finally, students will use Skype and collaborate with 5th grade students in Tuscon, Arizona. The students will present their online journals to the students in Arizona. Once they are finished, the Arizona students will present online journals about the Yellowstone National Park. Every student has the chance to learn about two National Parks.
