While many aspects are beyond my Kindergarten kids, there are some excellent resources which could be used whole-class to support non-fiction writing this year.

I was very impressed with the amount of concepts covered in one project. It truly was an authentic learning experience. The mishap that happened after the students voted on the most dangerous animal was a perfect learning point for both the teacher and the students.This was such a concrete project that will definitely give the students something to connect to in the future.

I love the use of essential questions to guide instruction and the use of online and book resources to find information about animals. I also really like the cooperative learning taking place in this classroom and the community it created. I am also very pleased that you involved the whole school as well. You were able to reach all students and really make this very engaging. This was an unforgettable lesson. Thanks for sharing.

I love how the students were involved with creating the criteria for ranking the animals, this is a high order thinking skill. I like how the teacher involved the students as much a possible and allowed the students freedom. This makes me think about the possibilities in my classroom.

We just had a lesson on habitats and the resources that Rebecca presented would have been very helpful!

I appreciate the idea of students collaborating throughout the project and finding ways to work through their bias. Bias comes in a variety of forms; it was great to hear how students brainstormed ideas in an effort to fix the rankings.

In addition, using the clustermap added value to the project and solidified the students’ hard work and efforts.

I love the use of the voki (avatar) zologist instead of just reading text. This type of wiki, (and other parts,too), can be very helpful (and fun) to use in Social Studies. Students could, for example, vote for most influential historical character or event–the one that had the most impact.Students could creat a voki historian–they would love it!!

After watching the entire video however, I was really impressed with how the teacher broke the assignment up, one day focusing on fact and opinion, another day on evaluating evidence, etc, and tying it all together. This could cover so many standards and is a very engaging way to combine reading, writing, and science into one big project. This has given me a lot of ideas.
