Well, I try to incorporate what I learn each week in class with what I can teach the students. We have been doing alot of collaboration lately so just to show you some things.
Picture one is the beginning of the Parthenon in Greece. It was started withthe help of 3 students. The boy in the white and print sweat shirt is resourse and the others are a mix. Thet are using hot glue guns and think cardboard as the columns. The next picture is of Terrance and he is making shields for the argonauts to fight the cyclops. Terance is disabled. The third picture is of five of my girl students. They all made the dresses they are wearing using no sewing at all. Three of the students are classified at-risk. They are all passing English and World History and go to tutoring for Algebra. The fourth picture is of the completed entrance to the parthenon. The fifth picture is of our team leader and English teacher who orginated the project. As she says,"The kids will never forget the Illiad."

How exciting! I love seeing what your students are doing! And yes...the trip was fabulous...except that I had no Internet connectivity!
Robert, how exciting to connect with Greece and the pictures and depth to the blog.
Robert,
I think this was a very good hands-n activity. It seems as if your students had to think about what they were doing as well as perform some type of hands on activity. When students are required to actively participate in a project, I believe it immediately becomes a part of their bulk of experiences that will turn in to prior knowledge. They are allowed to critically think, work alone as well as in groups to collaborate and corporate to get the job done and learn a little something J a they complete the task.
Great post!
Toinette
