For this project the students had to convince a committee on why a certain world explorer deserved their own holiday and why. They were able to present their case in any format they wished. One group did create a movie, however, the file was too large to embed and I didn’t feel comfortable putting it on U-Tube.

John Smith Skit - These three students wrote and performed a skit for thier class.

Lewis and Clark - This group of students gave an oral presentation with props.

These students used a poster board to try and win the committee’s votes!

 * __ABC's of the American Revolution__**

Summary:** We joined students from different parts of the world to plant bulbs together and collect data on various parameters (latitude, longitude, sunlight, temperature etc.) and track when the plants blossom
 * __Daffodil and Tulip Project__
 * Description:** Classrooms from around the world chose Daffodil and/or Tulip bulbs to plant during the same week in November. We planted on Monday November 23, 2009. Students will continue to collect temperature data throughout the experiment and report to the group – in addition they will report when the blooms appear etc. Students will have opportunities to use math skills (graphing, converting English to metric, Temperature conversions F to C, etc.) practice science skills (hypothesizing what effects bloom date, collecting data, comparing and analyzing data, etc.) appreciate geography and culture (learning about the other parts of the world as the students share their similar projects), Language Arts, (as students write to each other about their experience)

 * __13 colonies Project__**

For this project on the 13 original colonies I had a lot of posters and PowerPoints. One group did create a movie, however, again the file was too large to embed and I didn’t feel comfortable putting it on U-Tube.

For their 13 colonies project these two students put on a puppet show to tell the class about the colony of Connecticut.

Another group created their own Pennsylvania wikispace. http://5n13coloniesproject.wikispaces.com/
