Hi All

I am a bit confused about the words count for each of our lesson plans. I think we only have 650 words for our lesson plans combine. I have been looking at the McDonald reading and she states that planning units involve three stages that include



 ·       Establishing what we want to find out

 ·       Finding out

 ·       What we do with what we’ve found.

This is similar to what Annie suggested. To reduce words I thought that we could combine our first and second lesson plans as the establishing what we want to find out. The second lesson plan could be finding out.The third could be the field trip and the fourth lesson plan could be what we do with what we’ve found.

Also we need to decide on the student population and context. As the immigration museum is in Melbourne, Victoria I suggest that we make the School an inner city public school that is within walking distance of the museum. This would support our decision of using this site as our fieldtrip as it is relevant and meaningful to the students because it is within their local school community. The school community could include a variety of students who are have migrated to Australia.

Has anyone got any suggestions about the artifact? Also do we want to invite Roie into our Wiki space?
