Journal Entry #1
I have just finished making presentations in 6 different classrooms, inviting over 200 students to see "The Wonders of the Rainforest." I used role play to introduce the words host and gracious and continued with a video/slide show.
I showed the kids some incredible footage and talked about a host tree, a gracious plant and the many kinds of "trunks". And of course we saw the monarchs, the viceroys and some clear winged butterflies.
They are so excited that they are going to see their teacher "live from the field." I explained that sometime on Monday they will see my face on that smartboard, instead of a howler monkey's!
Students- Read this blog with your teachers in homeroom everyday. At approximately 9:00 am, I will appear via web conferencing and answer all your questions, if I can. If I can't there will be research scientists from Tulane University there to help me out. We will do this in "real time." It will be alot of fun. We will save the written comment section for the last day, when you will work with your classmates to find a solution.
