Students: What I Think I Do - Week 1 Internet Activity
By Mark Holmes
I envisaged this to be a September week 1 internet activity. It will give students an opportunity to think about how other people perceive them. It could also be used as a lesson in how to search Google effectively or used as a dictionary / thesaurus activity, where students have to find descriptive words in order to search for appropriate pictures on Google Images.
These have been doing the rounds on FaceBook and email recently. You may have received posters / postcards entitled "Teachers...." or "Moms..." and then under the title are a series of photos with captions like;
What my friends think I do
What my mother thinks I do
What I think I do
What I really do
Each caption is accompanied by an image of what that person thinks about the other person or group of people.
The sample here is of the "Teacher..." postcard. This is NOT what I am selling. I am selling a similar template entitled, "Students..." It is laid out the same as the teacher one with the same titles (the word teacher has been replaced with student), however, the pictures are missing. Students must search Google Images for appropriate pictures that characterize themselves. The photo titles are as follows;
Students...
What my friends think I do
What my mother thinks I do
What society thinks I do
What my teachers think I do
What I think I do
What I really do
My students printed off the images and then cut them out and pasted them on.
Enjoy!!!!

Biome Project - In Depth and Engaging!
By EduCraft Marketplace
This is a great project for APES or Biology! I used it for both, but for Biology I made some of the last tasks optional and changed some of the upper tasks to weigh a little bit more to balance it out to 100%. It includes the rubric, which is a checklist for the students and also for your grading convenience!
The students love it! It can be done individually or in pairs. It can be a gallery walk or presented to the class. I hope you and your students enjoy!
Here are the instructions: You will research a biome that you select from the proposed list. While researching your biome, you will learn about commonalities, locations, community interactions within it, and look at any environmental issues associated with the biome. The final part of your project will be a free-standing display on a poster board of all the information you gathered and you will be prepared to present this information to the class. Below is a rubric showing the research required for your display, and their point value. You will be presenting this to the class!
Do not simply “cut & paste” your information! It must be your own writing. Failure to use your own work is plagiarism!
