Below is the base Pearl Tree from which each student will be working. From the base, they access their individual biomes and add websites ("pearls") to that biome's pearltree to use for research next week.

Web Questing Begins!
The students are beginning their web quests for Biome information. They accessed Pearl Trees from Edmodo and began "pearling" their websites. Many boys even spent time at home finding new sites to use for research and adding them into their pearltrees! They will be teaching another class how to use this researching tool on Tuesday and will be collaborating with all four classes throughout the project to share resourcces!
Reading Character Sketches
We recently read a very detailed description of one of our main characters in The Egypt Game, and we spent time in class creating character sketches.
Reading Vocabulary Activity
We spent time in small groups last week identifying and defining difficult vocabulary words from our text. Using the educreations and dictionary app's, the students were able to photograph, underline, type, or write the words, and then add in screenshots of the definitions to share with one another.
