Website

My husband and I own a summertime business.  We have been working on the Softball World website below for the past 3 weeks so this assignment came at a great time.  As you can see, we still have a lot to add to some of our links.

Graphic Organizer

Graphic organizers are a great way for students and teachers to be on the same page.  You can take any piece of literature and breakdown the rationale into multiple areas to show its relevance.  The one that I created was based upon a story where teenagers learn about senior citizens and their contributions to life.  The organizer is visual learning tools that allows for everyone involved in the assignment to see the importance of the assignment and how it can impact learning.  Organizers are used frequently in my classroom when we dissect literature themes, etc.

Charles Hackley Assignment

Below is a copy of the Google Map assignment I would do in Michigan History class.  Charles Hackley was instrumental in building Muskegon and left  many wonderful gifts for the residents to use and enjoy.  Students would have to map: Hackley Public Library, Hackley Park, Museum of Art, Muskegon High School and Hackley Hospital.  The students can easily add this to the research project that they are already required to do in the Michigan History class.
