Mod 4 - update

Hey guys,

For the Mod 4 assignment, here is my idea:

- Students in our classrooms will reach out to students in a different country to talk about their recycling habits/how their area handles recycling.

Who are the students your students will communicate with (specific location, grade level)?

I think we've been talking about 3rd grade as our grade level, and I don't care which country we pick or anything like that if we go with this idea.

When would your students contact these other students (at what point in their project work)?

They would contact these students during the research time in their project work. It could be used as another source for them in their research.

What kinds of questions would they ask each other and what kinds of information would they share?

Questions may include: 1) Do you recycle? 2) Do you have recycling centers? 3) Do you have mandated recycling? 4) What can you recycle?

What will they do with the information they get from the other students?

They will use the information in their final project, in their digital books. The research will help them learn about global recycling responsibilities.

Let me know what you all think. I don't mean to be controlling or anything, these are just ideas. Also, I don't want to seem like an overachiever and set everything up, so I haven't set up the Google doc or anything. I would like to start working on it though, weekends are way to busy for me to work on this stuff.
