Enjoy!!!
Okay, so I changed my virtual tour idea from what I posted in here the first time. The standard that I am doing is for second grade.
Standard 2
Students will develop a sense of self in relation to families and community.
Objective 2
Examine important aspects of the community and culture that strengthen relationships.
b. Compare rural, suburban, and urban communities.
I planned this to be a class actvity where the teacher goes through it with the class and leads a discussion. I think this will be best since the kids are kinda younger. They could probably do in by themselves or in groups but Ithink it would be most benefical to them if we did it as a class. I think it would be great for the children to see these communities since some of them may have grown up in the same community their whole lives. Google Earth has some amazing 360* shots of all kinds of communities. It will be good for them to see real examples when comparing instead of me just describing them.

I liked how easy it was to see the difference between a rural, suburban, and urban environment. You did a good job picking places to demonstrate each of these. Kids would have a much better understanding of these types of communities after doing the tour. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThis tour is great for helping students identify the distinct differences between the different types of communities. It is also a lot of fun to be able to follow the pictures like you are driving through the community!

ReplyDeleteI loved loved your idea of the different communities. It really opened my eyes to the differences that surround me everywhere. It was so neat to see houses and compare them with others. I also really enjoyed the question and activities you had the students perform. Great work!
