SEMESTER END PROJECT - Term 1: Jan to June 2006

A Semester end project is a term long (or end of term) project that can be used with your students. By having one project each term, classes that are using the program can share what they have learned. This is a great opportunity to learn about other classes in other countries!

For the Jan- June 2006 term, the theme of the project is:

‘What we learned from Tire Tracks'

This should be a student report on what they learned by using the program. We ask for 1 result per class. Any type of media/result is acceptable, as long as we can present it on the website. Examples are a document explaining what the kids learned, a presentation, a photo collage, short vide clip, etc. Be creative!

** Have any questions? Ask in the Teachers forum or email us.
