Here’s a final list, by group, of what needs to be done.

ArtsFest

• All video footage should be edited and loaded to Vimeo (you have a lot of editing to do)
• All photos loaded into Flickr and sent to the Sub-Web

4th Grade Flying Kites

• Export the Folktales so that they can be added to the plays
• Create an iDVD file to hold the plays as well as the Folktales
• Export the plays to Vimeo
• Export the Folktakes to Vimeo
• Write 2 posts for the Sub-Web: one for the plays and one for the Folktales

Video Team

• Each interview needs to be exported as a separate m4a file
• Export the admission video to an m4a file
• All videos should be loaded onto Vimeo and set to PRIVATE

Tour Team

• Turn in completed Keynote file. Just focus on making that perfect. I’ll figure out file formats and exporting later.

Today, we are going to finish setting up our project and look for some pictures. Here’s where we are going to go to find them.

1. Grolier
2. Answers
3. Ask - if we have to

Now that you have read several articles about the evolution debate, you need to create your own. This article should tell a story about the debate and must be credible. Each story must have:

1. A Headline
2. Be from some sort of news source - either real or fictional.
3. Cover a story about the evolution debate. While the story could be fictional, it must be credible.
4. A picture to go with the story.

Here are a few sample articles.

• http://scienceblogs.com/evolutionblog/2009/05/lewontin_on_darwin.php?utm_source=sbhomepage&utm_medium=link&utm_content=channellink
• http://fredericksburg.com/News/FLS/2009/052009/05122009/461588
• New York Times - Evolution’s Backers in Kansas Start Counter Attack
• The Dallas Observer - the battle against teaching evolution begins in Texas
• Tampa Bay Observer - the battle against evolution advances in Tampa, Florida

In your groups, finish finding the 4 sources. You will turn in the best copy of the assignment before the end of class. When you are done, read this Introduction to the Scopes Monkey Trial. Add to your assignment the following questions and answers.

1. Who was John Scopes?
2. What did he do?
3. When and where did the trial take place?
4. What was the debate?
5. Who was the main figure for the prosecution?
6. What was the final outcome?

To finish up your research, try these two things:

1. Go to Lonely Planet and look up your city. There is a ton of good information in there.
2. Go back to Answers or Grolier and look up the specific locations that Mrs. Ashby and I gave you to research.

Today, we are going to shift gears a bit. We want to look at our topics as how they represent significant accomplishments in Ancient Rome. Your goal is to create a Spider Map that looks similar to mine.

When you are ready to start looking into art, go back to Grolier. Think about what you learned last week with Boolean searches. What should you search for?

Do you notice any connections between the technology, the architecture, and the art?
