Students will continue the discussion of environmental issues in Southwest Asia from the previous lesson in this second part of the lesson.

Hi Anna,

Some questions about your lesson:

Can you add some math to your lesson? For example the climate is temperature, location may be using a coordinate grid...

In your first instructional activity you have the words the and an next to one another. You only need one of those words.

Do you have a subscription for Brainpop? That is an awesome site!

Are you going to model how to use a Wiki and what information you want included on the Wiki? Some of the students may not have experience with a Wiki or giving peers feedback.

When in the lesson will you hold the Global Summit? Who else will be participating?

How about using question starters or partnering up for accommodations?

I enjoyed your lesson and the integration of technology. The students will enjoy it! -Lynne

Anna- It looks like you have an excellent lesson to promote online collaboration. Have you thought about who you will be sharing information with? If there is time you could add some scale drawings of maps, which would integrate math skills as well. Erin

Hi Anna, Terrific questions for inquiry. One of my 7th grade ESL students was asking me for help on similar questions, but not having any fun exploring them. In other words, the addition of the Brainpop video and wiki collaboration is great fun. Also, will the students be learning by doing in regards to the wiki? This has worked for my students...actually, I gave them brief instructions; however, that is all. ~Megan F.
