I feel this benefits both groups of students. The younger ones get someone to look up to and come to for help. The older one get to mentor a younger child and lead by example - which can be a powerful thing for some students. However this project sounds like it could take some serious time and cordination between teachers - but overall I think it would be worth it for both groups of students. Love this idea - might just have to steal this one...422AESSEXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02872407682521736800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3491185907765903460.post-10914155993322294722009-10-01T11:08:10.096-07:002009-10-01T11:08:10.096-07:00that is a great activity. having older students in...that is a great activity. having older students interact with younger students is great. it also makes the older students realize what younger students are into. the only thing is that as a teacher you have to know another teacher that is willing to do this kind of project. but this is something that i would love to do in a classroom. it combines the best part of both worlds. i hope that i could do something like this in a classroom.norma molinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13211364453956231858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3491185907765903460.post-22368703367175320282009-10-01T09:49:03.130-07:002009-10-01T09:49:03.130-07:00I really like this idea of pairing second graders ...I really like this idea of pairing second graders with high schoolers. When I was younger and in elementary school, I really enjoyed having an older advocate and then flipped around and I was the advocate. With the use of technology, this project can run more smoothly and in a more time efficient manner. The book will look more professional and polished with the use of technology and computers. It also allows for more copies to be made by simply with a click of a button. Hand drawings are more timely and require more effort and work. You can still keep the creativity by printing the books and allowing the second graders to draw on each page. Too bad we couldn't see a visual of how one the books turne out!
