ok awesome! thanks lisa!

my lesson plan is things that can be recycled FYI

hello, 

i will re-do the concept map and submit using all of our ideas.  for my lesson plan 2 i will just keep using my basic ideas about recycling to create a lesson.  hope everyone has a good week!

The change of the middle circle is good with me.  I was also thinking we could expand on how to recycle clothing and electronics:  clothing goes to goodwill and salvation army. cell phones, computers and other electronics can go back to the company for redistributing.  

For why recycling is important:  recycling saves our planet because it preserves our planet's resources for longer.  

We can also add a bubble for landfills since that's what recycling competes with.  Saying things like they are destroying our planet because they just sit there with some components not decomposing.  When we keep feeding the landfills we are depleting our resources faster.

That's what I've come up with so far;  I'll keep thinking! Let me know what you think and any other ideas you guys have :)

Concept Map

making some changes to the concept map... the center circle should just be, Recycling. other then that.. i am not real sure what to add.

for my lesson plan i am going to focus on fifth grade on what can and can not be recycled. Along with figuring out what recycled materials are turned back into.

ok so for this lesson plan i'm thinking i will make a lesson plan where my students collect data on who recycles in their neighborhood.  They will have to know how many houses are in the neighborhood and then determine which houses recycle by going house to house and asking.  Let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions to improve this because i don't really know what to do.  

We also have to determine who is going to be revising the concept map.  Allie did it last time so Lisa one of us has to download the program.  I don't care either way so let me know:) along with that we have to decide exactly how to revise if so if you have any ideas i guess post them on here for discussion!

hey katelyn, 

yeah i have a mac. i didn't know how to do it so i was just going to turn it in late for the point deduction and worry about it when i get back.  i've never even used imovie so i won't be very helpful! sorry
