The students will study global issues through a combination of Internet research and interviews with local organizations. The students will develop a basic understanding of global issues though the initial research. Following that the students will focus on one issue and design an eCollage or brief video in which they express their concern or support.

Week 1: Reviewing Shelters, Exploring Animal Shelters on School Grounds, Creating Class Book In this unit, students explore how to enhance their own school grounds in order to celebrate Earth Day and provide better shelters for local animals. Note: This lesson plan may also be integrated into any appropriate earth science or environmental study, exclusive of Earth Day.
Week 2: Introducing Earth Day, Researching Past Earth Day Projects, Deciding on Class Project(s) In this unit, students explore how to enhance their own school grounds in order to celebrate Earth Day and provide better shelters for local animals. Note: This lesson plan may also be integrated into any appropriate earth science or environmental study, exclusive of Earth Day.

Students will work in groups to identify a question relating to an issue or topic of study. This question should be phrased to grab the audience’s attention and create interest in the topic. Centering on the question, students will create a 60-second “kids’ newsbreak” highlighting information that begins to answer the question. Other student products may offer additional information relating to the question. (For example: Web sites) Newsbreaks make use of a variety of media to inform and educate the public. Important information is included to “hook” the audience into wanting to learn more about a particular topic.
Students will work with a partner to research various forms of erosion. They will analyze satellite images looking for erosion due to running water, wave action, wind, and weather. Based upon this research, students will create three PowerPoint slides to visualize change over time.
The Dark Side of the Net
Overview
In this lesson, students are required to research the topic and produce a three –fold poster or a PowerPoint Slide Show for a Cyber Safety Fair. The fair will be like a trade show. Each group will have a table at the show and will display their information on either the poster or where there is sufficient equipment and power, using PowerPoint. Students should also prepare a single page handout with a summary of their information. This lesson can also be used independently of the Cyber Safety Fair concept. The lessons in the Cyber Safety Fair group can be used to assemble a very informative and interesting session for students, parents and/or the community.Prerequisite Experience
This lesson assumes the student has a basic knowledge and skills associated with research using the Internet. In addition, students will review the materials dealing with digital imaging and PowerPoint found at www.NortelLearniT.org.Teacher Prep Time
minimal (about 1 hour)If you have not worked with image editing software or PowerPoint, you will want to become more comfortable with these technologies. Review the Imaging and PowerPoint training videos available from www.NortelLearniT.org. Students can refer to these same videos when working through their project as needed. Teachers should carefully review the web sites in the Explore Section to become familiar with the topic and to check for appropriateness of materials for their students. Students should be encouraged to report any inappropriate materials they encounter.
Project
Students will submit their individual Dark Side posters or PowerPoint projects and will participate in the Cyber Safety Fair.Assessment/Grading
An evaluation rubric has been provided.Time Management Tips

EnglishStudents will work in teams of four to write a collaborative story. Each student will choose a photo or visual image for their story prompt and begin to write their own story based upon this photo. Then, students will switch computers to add to a teammate’s story. Students will continue to rotate computers until the story is completed, contributing to every teammate’s story at once. Students will finish their own stories and add additional digital images once the story is completed.

Students will choose a scene from one of Shakespeare’s plays and re-enact the scene in a modern setting. This re-enactment will be recorded using digital video. Students will add commentary to the video. Throughout this commentary, they will discuss why they chose the scene, its importance to the overall play, and reasons why they chose to modernize the scene as they did.
