Continuing our study of the United States, the students were tasked with visiting five national parks. Death Valley, The Everglades, The Badlands. Who wouldn't want to visit these places? After creating a travel itinerary, students used Jottit to build a wiki highlighting one of the parks they "visited" Check it out here.

Plotting Elevation


In Social Studies, Mr. Tauber's students are doing some serious multi-tasking! As a means of understanding the differences in elevation in the United States, we are taking a cross-country trip. Students are using the internet to determine the elevations of cities along Interstate-80. Once they have a large enough sample size, they will create a line graph of the activity. The line graph will be the representation of US elevation.
