Lesson: My Place In The World

Overview // Students will determine where they were born. The students will then write a description of their hometown including details of the day they were born. This lesson would change the learning environment because students get to create slideshows of the town in which they were born, instead of bringing in many hard copies of pictures. They will also get to share their pictures with more than just their fellow classmates if they should chose to do so. //

Student Audience // Designed for students in the second grade. //
