I love the real world application of your project. There are so many students who enter the real world and have no idea how to develop a budget! I also like how involved their family will be with the project! I wonder will their job be in the classroom or at home?

I love the idea for so many people have Indian ancestors in this region.  Maybe you would like to have the students make a family tree or maybe they could research the origin of their last name.

Your idea to use Media simulation is clever. I think students will enjoy this project instead of reporting text on a piece of paper. In my experience, students who you least expect to speak out end up being the ones who shine the most. Have you thought of simulating a radio talk show in which people connected to the disappearance are interviewed? This might engage students who are "camera shy". They could record their broadcast and then play it for their presentation.

I like your idea of a book cover for the children's book. Have you ever considered doing a book trailer or book review using videos and a QR code? This would be a great extension to you project.

I love your authentic audience. As a former science teacher, I always tell my students that we lay the foundations that will be built upon in future years. This would be a great product to have a show in class.

I like the way your project provides skills that students will use in their lives. I wondered how you could include other content areas in your project.

What a great idea for a project that incorporates so many life skills!  I think your students will enjoy planning this and it will give them a chance to explore places they have not been.  I wondered how you might include world geography, world cultures in this project.

I like that students are interviewing family members and finding out how times have changed.   I wonder how interesting it would be if students who have a grandparent still alive could also interview them - three generations! Maybe interview grandparent and parent together.

I like the art component in your project. I think students will enjoy creating these books. I wondered about the application of math in creating a book - measurement of pages, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
I really like how your audience will be someone from in the community and the students are learning a valuable lesson about giving.
I wonder if you are going to allow students to choose what kind of final product they wish to do?

I like how you make a connection from past to present in your project.  I wondered about the title..is there justice in injustice?  That alone makes me want to learn more.

I love your project!  Sounds very applicable to life.
I wondered about your public audience....who else could you involve in helping students with career selection?

# data[].attributes.body
I like the newscast idea - students will definitely enjoy creating those.  I wondered about comparison of news then versus news now.  Social media vs. pre- social media.

I love that your project focuses on budgeting.  What a useful skill both now and later in life for students! This project will be meaningful and engaging for your students.
I wonder if you have students also consider planning for bigger "once-a-year" expenses or emergency expenses (ex. insurance payments, doctor visits, washing machine going out).  What do these look like in a monthly budget?

I like how the students will construct a garden based on the time of year and what vegetables grow in the fall.

I'm wondering if the construction of the garden will be the same major product as the field guide..

I love the idea of creating a space based on specifications for an school atrium.  What a great connection for students!  They would love to see their design come to life!

I love how your project relates directly to the lives of your students. We have been talking about how our students need to develop their soft skills! I think this is a wonderful project that will greatly benefit your students.

What a great project idea! I wonder if maybe you could invite an architect in to show examples of actual buildings or projects they have worked on that show influence of Greek culture. Also, for an audience, I wonder if a local art museum or collector of Greek art would come in to your class and judge projects your students created using certain elements of Greek culture that you (or the students choose).
Vickie Juan

# data[].attributes.body
I love that you are including so many different areas of interest. I think your students will be very excited to learn how the Greeks influenced so much of our culture!
I wonder if you could include some other technology options for your product, such as a Popplet or an iMovie?

This is an AWESOME real-world application of math! I love the idea of comparing carriers. What a great way for students to understand how much parents are paying for their services!

# data[].attributes.body
I like your idea of students to create a project for 5th graders to read to be give them an advanced knowledge of information they will need down the road.
I wonder if you will allow students to use different art mediums to create these images in the children's books? Maybe using watercolors and sharpies, colored pencils, or other art tools?

# data[].attributes.body
I love how relevant your project is to the kid's lives.  This will give them great practice for later in life!

# data[].attributes.body
I love your project choice and I cannot imagine students not loving it too!  What a perfect way to engage students in a meaningful activity that just happens to throw in a little math along the way.  Definitely a challenging problem for families.

I like your outdoor sports connection - so popular right now!
Will you bring in local rescue teams that have searched and found lost hikers in the Carolinas?

Your topic of a family budget is so important and a lifelong necessary skill. This is appropriate for all learners. It will be interesting to see how far students think their money will go and then the reality of the budget. Maybe give students some emergency items that hit the budget.

Julie,
I absolutely love the fact that you are creating an environment for the students to learn about the community they are surrounded in at school. This will be very meaningful for them in helping them make sense of their school environment. I wonder if you will help students research and learn more about school leaders through interviews and guest speaking? Maybe they could create a video with interviewing since their writing will be limited.

I really thought that your choice of project will not only be high interest but meaingful as well. Students will see how weather impacts our behavior and emotional well being. How indepth will you be venturing with weather and are you going to limit to weather in just SC or expand it to other states and beyond. - Mandy Irick

It would be great for them maybe have a map of the world, and glue down an image of the crop that goes there.  Students could learn about the new movement to buy local food, I believe they call it the slow foods movement.

Hi Jennifer!
I love the building aspect of this.
I wonder if you would be able to have a semi-lifesize model created on-site (something that could easily be packed up and brought back out again).

I like how you'll make the subject material real to them. I loved the Native American units when I was in school. This will be great.

I love this idea of creating imaginary animals, because we also do this in my 7th grade science class during our ecology unit when we are discussing limiting factors and if animals had different characteristics of other types of animals, how would that impact their ecosystem and dismiss some of those limiting factors.  I wonder if introducing some of those to third graders would help in their decision on what their animal would look like.

I like that this is engaging and relevant to your students. This also introduces and gets students comfortable with authority figures.
I wonder if students could dress up and act as an authority figure of their choice?

I love this idea. My daughter really believes in mermaids so I like this idea because new species are being found each day.

I like that you are showing that authority figures are important in our society despite what media portrays.
I wonder if you could take the students to a police and fire department to show what they do every day.

I love the idea of creating a heritage quilt square! This is BRILLIANT!!!! I wonder if you could bring in a local quilter to speak on the story telling through quilting and the deeper meanings behind traditional quilt patterns. - Sarah Kate Chatel

I love this idea.  The children will absolutely love it too.
Will you have them dress up as super heroes?
I wonder if you could expand this lesson to cover authority figures in the town?

# data[].attributes.body
I like how you are introducing the concept of maximizing resources to 5th graders!

I wonder if you could get a real life logger to come in and talk to the students about how much of the tree is actually used?

I love the idea of making quilt squares to display family heritages.  This is a great way to introduce diversity to children at an early age.

Hi Betsy!
I really like zoos, and I know that my daughter (8) does, too and would love to complete this project.
I wonder if your students would have the ability to create a 3D model of the zoo space using clay/playdough and other materials.

I like the idea of the student choice and voice in designing their own zoo exhibit. I also love the title! I wonder if you will have issues with students wanting to do the same animals (tigers, elephants, etc)

The students will then decide on 10 items they think is essential when building a house and find their prices. The students will use the monthly income (slope) and their accumulated debt (y-intercept) to find how long it will take them to pay off their debt.
Content: Slope intercept form
Presentation: The students will create a presentation using a mode that they chose.
Public Audience: Banker and contractor
