Using the web to teach about the Chesapeake Bay
http://www.mdsg.umd.edu/issues/communities/history/
I will use these two websites to enhance and expose my students to pictures and information about the Chesapeake Bay. As I stated in a previous blog, field trips in urban schools districts are often too expensive for the students. Even when there are funds available lack of parent involvement means that the teacher will have to take the students alone, and this is a huge responsibility. The Chesapeake Bay is 200 miles long and includes 150 rivers and streams. Having the students create a visual of the Chesapeake Bay using poster board will allow them to plot the beginning and end of the bay. The students can then trace the path of the rivers that flow into the bay.
The Awesome Chesapeake is a book that provides pictures and facts about the Chesapeake Bay. This book will be displayed in the unit library. This book has vivid pictures and illustrations that offer students with an easy to understand guide to the Chesapeake Bay. The book describes the fish and other sea life that lives in and around the bay. This book can be used as the students explore the bay by using the web.
