I am having
the best time with this group of children. Ava is obviously making this entire
experience so much fun!
Today, I met with the group again to discuss the
different ways we can look for information about our topic. The children’s
teacher allowed us to use their computer lab to search for resources. One
difficulty we encountered were the lack of easy-to-find resources on the Internet
about the Civil Rights Movement. Although there are clear TEKS on the subject,
there is very little information for children to access about this subject. I
helped the children navigate through the Internet looking for sites and we
realized by putting “for kids” after each search, it narrowed the search
immensely.
When searching through the internet, I reminded the children about
the different ways using the internet for resources.
By using a “guide by side”
approach, this allowed the children to take charge of they wanted to look for
and in the end we were able to put together a great list of internet resources. The
children were asked to make a list about the types of things they are able to
do everyday. We explained that these are their "rights". Tomorrow we will put these on a spreadsheet.
I am really excited to see what the children come up with!
