Hi Fourth Grade.

Please show off for Ms. Weld. I told her that you would be super-stars! Here’s your checklist for the day:

1. Finish typing everything into the 3 Panel Brochure. Use your journals, notebooks, and the mock-up that you did with Mrs. Richards and Ms. Doane. Make sure that everything is spelled correctly and reads well.
2. If you get all of your typing done, go back to your Africa Brochure and see if all of your typing is done there. Make sure that everything is spelled correctly.
3. Once all of your typing is done, go back to GoogleEarth and finish adding all of the pushpins for your itinerary. Remember to number each one. If you have to re-name a pushpin because it says Untitled, control-click on the push pin and choose Get Info.
4. If you get EVERYTHING done, and Ms. Weld says that it is all written out correctly, then please be a helper for the rest of the class or do some Typing Master.

To finish up your sheets, you will need to do a few things.

1. Use Answers to get your population. You will need to first find the population of your country and then of your capital city. Make sure you find the most recent recording.
2. Use this website to get your time zone
3. We will use GoogleEarth to measure from Boston to your capital city

To make your map, you will need to go to the Xpedition Atlas. Once you get there, find your country and then click the Enlarge GIF button.

Use this map from WorldAtlas.com to find the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn.

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.

2. Answers
3. Ask – if we have to

In order to keep track of how long it takes you to read each page, use this graphic organizer.

4R, it’s your turn. We have ONE DAY to create 3 field trip resources for our friends at Flying Kites. Here’s what we’re going to do.

You are in groups. In each group, you need a Map Maker, a Researcher, a Formatter, and a Coordinator. For the group of 3, you will not have a Coordinator.

• Map Maker – stick a push-pin in the location of Flying Kites in GoogleEarth, then push-pin the location of your field trip spot (or spots). Save your map as an image so that you can add it into your field trip project. You will then need to drag the map into your group folder.
• Researcher – follow the link to your location(s) and find out the following information. Use the graphic organizer from Mrs. H to help you out.
  • What will they do?
  • What will they see?
• Formatter – your job is to put everything together. Open the Pages file in your folder, and start filling in what you can until your Map Maker and Researcher can give you the rest. You may also want to help out your team.
• Coordinator – who needs help on your team? Your job is to jump in wherever you are needed and help people out. 

Here are your locations and resources. Know that Flying Kites is located at  0°31′0.27″S, 36°35′43.80″E

1. Langata Giraffe Centre (Tina, DD, Nadia, Maggie)
   • Location: 1°22′45.63″S, 36°44′43.17″E
     
   • Research Resource: http://www.lonelyplanet.com/kenya/nairobi/sights/415772 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giraffe_Centre
2. Nairobi Education Centre and Animal Orphanage (Lydia, Victoria, Kaylynn, Annie)
   • Location: 1°20′14.64″S, 36°46′40.75″E
     
   • Research Resource: http://www.kws.org/nbi-edu.html and http://www.kws.org/nairobi.html
3. Total Field Trip Guide (Jake, Nick, Will) – you have a slightly different job. Your task is to create a field guide of ALL possible field trips within 50 miles of Flying Kites. You still have 3 roles, but a different type of project. Here’s your challenge
   • Map the 5 locations that your classmates are using to create their guides by adding push-pins, and then use the ruler to measure the distance from Flying Kites to that location. Consider making the Flying Kites push pin a different color. You will find the latitude and longitude of the other locations by reading the Team #1 directions below these directions.
   • Write a brief description of what the students might do on a field trip to those places. To get your information, start by reading the other classes Field Trip Guides in the 13 folder. Then, quickly interview the other two groups in this class to find out what they have learned.
   • Work with the Map Maker (once he is done) to see if there is anything else that may be worth visiting within 50 miles. If you find other places, add them onto the map.

We’re on a mission. We have ONE DAY to plan a field trip for our friends at Flying Kites and make them a field trip guide. Here’s what we’re going to do.

You are in groups. In each group, you need a Map Maker, a Researcher, and a Formatter.

• Map Maker – stick a push-pin in the location of Flying Kites in GoogleEarth, then push-pin the location of your field trip spot. Save your map so that you can add it into your field trip guide. You will then need to drag them map into your group folder.
• Researcher – follow the link to your location and find out the following information. Use the graphic organizer from Mrs. H to help you out.

  • What will they see?
• Formatter – your job is to put everything together. Open the Pages file in your folder, and start filling in what you can until your Map Maker and Researcher can give you the rest. You may also want to help out your Researcher.
