Project Profile:
Selecting a theme and topic is simple. Creating a unit that covers all areas of the of the curriculum and incorporates unique and compelling data and information is much more complicated. When creating thisproject, many different ideas came to mind.
Here is a summary of some of those ideas and how I would attempt to integrate them in to my classroom.
Objectives:
1. The kindergarten students in my class will have the opportunity to be introduced to the basic principles and ideals of many different faiths.
2. The students will be introduced to several different Nobel Pece Prize Winners. The students will then make the connection with the religious backrounds of those people as well as make a connectin to the good deeds of the individuals.
3. The third objective is the most complex of the three objectives because it is an online collaborative projet that will connect students from differnt faiths to share and express their beliefs and understand while allowing the others to ask them questions about their own religion.
4. The students will use Real Time data have a better understanding of their religion. The students will also use audio clips and video interviews to learn about famous Nobel Peace Prize winners.
Additional Information:
The page will also contain a link to real time information that is provided by different media networks with current religious issues.
