Did you ever
want to be a detective? This online collaborative project gives elementary
students the opportunity to use deductive reasoning skills to find their
fellow project participants. This project incorporates math, geography,
science, language arts and social studies into fun-filled lessons and activities
that will send your students on a journey across the United States.
During this journey, every
participating class will provide clues about their home state to help fellow
participants find them. Meanwhile, your students take on the role
of detectives as they use those clues provided by fellow participants to
try and find them in the United States. All the while, your students are
using deductive reasoning skills, calculating fractions and demonstrating
map skills, all in pursuit of solving "The Great State Mystery".
This
project has been developed by Patrice Enyart and Alberta Weissman, teachers
from CJR/#9, Paterson in conjunction with CIESE at Stevens Institute of
Technology, Bank Street College, and St. Peter's College with support through
an Eisenhower Professional Development Program that is administered by
the New Jersey State Department of Education
