logging onto the classroom blog at

creating their own organizational map using
Popplet from an iPad or Computer.

Students will research what they need to find

out in their list from their personal K-W-L chart

Students will modify their organizational maps

in Popplet if needed when their research is
complete and print a copy of their
organizational map.

Students will then collect materials for

presentation (i.e., take digital photos, scan
images, download video clips/music, etc.) and
use their printed Popplet as a guide.
