Third-grade
students from Mrs. Tevepaugh's classroom at Blair Moody Elementary School
"visited" several castles, as a kickoff to their project-based unit
on castles.
The
students were transported to castles around the world with the help of Virtual
Reality goggles. Once there, they were able to "explore" the outside
of the castle as well as take a peek inside.
Students
were asked to compare and contrast eight different castles and record their
observations.
As
the unit progresses, the third graders will also learn about nonfiction text
features, new vocabulary, idioms, fairytales, engineering, forces, geography,
and how Michigan forts connect to castles. Before the unit ends, they are going
to be digital pen pals with a third grade classroom in a castle community in
England.
