This
is the area which takes the longest time.
Searching for educationa ag sites isn't easy, as
many of the teacher sites do not even have an ag
section.I have spent many hours at school, late
, doing searching, and am getting many sourses.
Now I am in the process of evaluation, and which
sites I'll use.
Web Quests for upper Primary, are rare. Primary
sites I found are too easy or too hard for third
grade. I am going to write this to fit the
children I teach,which is all abilities, reading
levels, kids with second language , etc.
I am thinking of linking the quest to the
community study of Grand Island, and the Social
Studies area of farming. I have thought of
possibly doing three
sections..animals..sheep,cattle, machines
...tractors and attachments, crops ...corn,
wheat. Perhaps like they choose or are assigned
an area, but then they choose their study of a
specific area. The assessment rubric will be one
I havecreated , and have students know what they
are expected to do before they begin this
quest.The product would be something put up on
the web. Students can write their findings, and
aI can copy and paste it into the web page.
The page for submitting the lesson info :
standards , etc., is too wide for reading some
of the info when I use AOL as my on-line
connection. Their box ares are small, and it is
very difficult to read the whole thing. It also
won't print out correctly, if I want a hard copy
to use as my first draft pattern. I also can't
copy & paste in into a wd processing
document.Aol makes it hard to put up a web page,
and a word processor page at the same time.
