Subject: Re: Secondary Learning Support Reading and Dropout
I am moderator of a project which many students from around the world have
enjoyed. "The Day I Was Born" online project
guides students to find interesting and important information about what was
going on in the world on the date of their birth. There are 12 links to
different websites (including The History Channel, The New York Times, etc.)
as well as audio clips from the "Discovery Channel". The project is suitable
for students in grades 4 through 12. It includes content standards as well
as printable students handouts. Collaboration is encouraged. There are no
fees required to join or use the project.
"The Day I Was Born" is cross-curricular, heavy on reading as a research
skill but also includes material dealing with Science, Social Studies, Math
as well as fun stuff such as television, music, and movies. Feedback from
both teachers and students indicates that the project has motivated students
to read and learn--everyone likes to learn about themselves. Visit the
website for more details. It's at
<http://community.bigchalk.com/schools/dayborn>. Teachers do not have to
join the project to use it with their students but I extend a warm
invitation to all to join us in collaboration.
