Globetracker's Mission: Finding Dewey - TeachersFirst Grades 2 to 6
|
|
Globetracker’s Mission is a projector- or whiteboard-ready episodic story in blog-style format, taking students in grades 2-6 on a world-wide journey as they learn standards-based world geography, landforms, and map skills in an engaging, interactive context. Each weekly “post” from Geo and Meri, fictitious brother and sister techno-savvy teens, traces steps on a secret mission to find Dewey, the truth-sniffing dog. Episodes include annotated vocabulary terms, interactive maps to practice map skills, and think-aloud questions the teens pose as they use today’s tools: text messaging, cell phones, and blog-posting. Readers vote at the conclusion of each post, telling Geo and Meri what to do next. TeachersFirst member teachers may have their classes post their own predictions of what the next episode will bring. All episodes have accompanying Google Earth™ placemarker files so your class can “tour” with Geo and Meri using Google Earth’s free, downloadable software. Complete tech tips, detailed lesson and management ideas, and teacher information are included.
This resource was featured in a recent New Teacher Hotline Podcast as one of the Tech Toolbox resources. Hear more about it on the podcast .

See "Lesson Ideas" from the Teacher Edition page for a complete list of ways to use this creative unit with younger students, on laptops with student partners, or as semi-independent work. Be sure to share the link on your teacher web page for students to share at home (or check on the next episode, if they can't wait!).
Encourage parents to join the fun on the mission by "touring" the same continents in family literacy activities from our partner site, TeachersAndFamilies TogetheRead . The monthly themes from November 2007 through May 2008 will be in sync with Geo and Meri's travels. Perhaps you want to give extra credit for additional information about the continents gained from TogetheRead family reading and activities-- or use some of the books in your classroom. |
