Your Ideas for a Computer Chronicles Project

Now that you have read through these examples of projects, take a few minutes
to print this form and list some of your own ideas.


1. What topics or themes do you plan to cover in your curriculum that could
be enriched by requesting information from the different regions represented in
your Learning Circle? (Look over your lessons plans and consider how this
activity could fit with what you have planned.)

2. What writing instructions or editorial guidelines can you and your students
propose that would help students write for your section of the newspaper? You
may want to have your class brainstorm a list of prompts or a set of guidelines
for their peers.

3. How much time would student reporters in other sites need to devote to your
project? (One way to find out is for your students to try responding to your own
information request before sending it to others. This process can help identify
unclear questions or requests.)
