Hello 6th Graders. I am sad I will be missing you today, but I know you will do your best to follow all the directions below to complete today's lesson. Use the resources here on my blog, in the folder next to your computer, and each other if you need help.
1. The first thing you will be doing is testing out your Glogster EDU log-ins. Some of you may not be able to get in. That is ok, we aren't using it yet, I want to know what accounts I need to fix. If you can't get in, take an index card from the front, write your name & ID # and give it to Mr. Frazier.

2. Next, you will start doing a little research that will ultimately end in you creating place marks in Google Earth. First you need to choose three locations you would like to visit anywhere in the world, sky or ocean. Or choose places you have been and loved!Think of landmarks, or seven great wonders of the world, or Disney World! Anywhere you want!
**Very Important: There is a check-in sheet next to your computer, you MAY NOT choose any place that has already been listed on YOUR computer's check-in sheet
3. Then, you will need to do some quick research on your location from one of the websites listed below. You can not use Wikipedia to use facts, please use the list below. Try to find facts that are interesting to you. You need to find at least four facts for each location and put them into YOUR OWN words. NO PLAGIARISM please. You can type into a word document using Google Docs or just hand write them on scrap paper.
List of Fact Links
4. Next, you will open up Google Earth off of your desktop. You will be creating placemarks at your three locations. Inside of each placemark you will type the facts you have found. Please use correct spelling and grammar. **If you don't know how to create a placemark, there is a paper resource by your desk and a video below that you can watch. They are very easy to create. If you still need more help with Google Earth, just scroll down farther to Wednesday sub class for more Google Earth Links.

5. When you are done creating your placemark, you MUST fill out the computer check-in sheet by your computer. Write your name and the three locations you created placemarks at. I will be checking these and your placemarks. Please leave the sheet by your computer.
6. Lastly, you can return to Google Earth and explore, or check out the links & videos below to try out cool trips, tours and a couple games that use Google Earth technology. These are your only options, please do not do anything else.
**Do NOT just search for your house, you need to try out different things, do a 3D tour, go on the moon, Mars, and sky etc. **
