Assignment

//As you complete this module, please keep the following discussion questions in mind. (You will be addressing these in your posting by Sunday): **What role could this lesson serve in your classroom? What modifications to this lesson would be required for successful implementation with your students? Please be specific to the ages and interests of your students as well as to the availability of technology in your school/classroom.**//

__Part 1:__ You should expect a lesson to take approximately 45 minutes to complete. As you begin your chosen lesson, remember that if you are having trouble using ArcMap, you can refer back to Module1, Lesson 1 - The basics of ArcMap.

1. Load the ArcGis 9.2 software that is included in your "Mapping Our World" book that you received at your Summer Academy. Use the instructions that begin on page 205 of the Teacher's Edition. Once the software is loaded, load the "Data and Resources" disc as per the instructions. This software is compatible with PC's only. If you do not have access to a PC, please move to the alternative assignment for Mac's.

2. During the first half of the week, you will complete one lesson from either Modules 2, 3, 4, or 7 from the "Mapping Our World" Book. Review the modules on the Table of Contents of the Student Guide to select a topic of interest to explore. In order to ensure that we have a wide distribution of lessons completed, once you have decided upon the lesson you wish to pursue, indicate your plans on the google spreadsheet available at : [insert URL] Please follow the directions for your lesson that are included in the Student Guide.

__Part 2:__

3. Once you have completed your selected lesson, your next step is to share your learning and reflections on the appropriate topic under "Discussion pages" on the menu bar to the left. Post a response to the following question:

//**What role could this lesson serve in your classroom? What modifications to this lesson would be required for successful implementation with your students? Please specify the ages and interests of your students as well as the availability of technology in your school/classroom.**//

In the subject line of your post, please place your **grade level** and primary **subject area** (//ie Elementary Math// or //Middle School Science)// in the subject line so others who read your post will understand your perspective.

6. By Wednesday, respond to at least one post from other participants. These can be related to the same lesson you worked on or to a lesson from a different module.
 * In your response, provide at least one suggestion that would strengthen the integration of this content for this teacher.**
