Brian- This curriculum web seems very ambitious and creative! I think that the students will learn a multitude of skills and information from the tasks that you designed here. I am unclear however on what particular subject you would teach this in (although it seems as you are writing across the curriculum and can apply these tasks to many subjects)? Also, you state in the prerequisites that the students must have knowledge on the different villages on Long Island--does this mean that they were taught about the different villages or it is a preconceived notion that they know about this? If the latter is true, then what about students who aren't from Long Island? I especially like that you emphasize in the rationale that community work and the committment to creating a project with others is vital in enhancing student learning! I am excited to see the final product of this curricukum web, --JeanMarie

Hi Brian! I really love this idea. I think the fact that you know so much about sports and have kids, this will be a great way for you to import your personal interests into your assignment. I also appreciate the community work aspect of this. That activity alone will really affect these kids in a positive way. I think you are definitely on the right track. *Janie
