I am really excited about creating a Geometry dictionnary that will replace ’stone age’ index cards. I found a few wesites that interactive and have sparked some ideas. If students don’t know the terminology they will have a slim to none chance of academic success in any field.

Hello all,

I am looking to create a lesson that will give students an opportunity to create a menu for a dinner party. The students will have a budget to work from and will have to keep track of their cost as well as how many servings they will need. The students will also need to create a graph to show how much they have spent and what they have left in their budget. I found a couple of existing lessons on WebQuest that I can gain some ideas from. I want to make the lesson interactive and fun while at the same time involving my students in real world situtations.

Since I will be moving to a private church school next year, I’m thinking about developing a religion lesson on the history of the Lutheran religion. Start with Luther and the reformation and then the history of the Lutheran church in America.

My algebra 1 Pre-AP students had difficulty in understanding composite functions and corresponding domain and range. I plan to have them search the web to obtain additional information to enhance their understanding of composite function through identifying applications and examples.

Even though my students are in Kindergarten, I want to put a little more into the lessons than just facts. I want to teach them how to question, predict and look at things in a new way.

Every year when THanksgiving rolls around, I’m so overwhelmed by all the distriactions (testing, report cards, etc.) that I completely overlook the importance of one of our culture’s observances: Thanksgiving. I would like to create a memorable, cross-curriculum, technologically-based, high-tech, historically (and culturally) applicable, lesson plan that centers around that holiday.

I found an existing WebQuest which I’m going to more fully examine this evening to see if I can just adapt it rather than starting from scratch.
