Comments from some teacher and student participants.....
I am really pumped about this project, & I have my principal's support. I just found out that one of our teachers is a cartographer.....
I've just come across your World Biome Project website, and I think it's fantastic!
Great site! I'm going to have my class answer the questions based on the material in the various pages in the site. Can you email me the answers to the questions? Thanks a lot!
....your project sounds like a great way to engage the students in studying their environment!
I'm so excited about your Biome project idea... this is what internet is perfect for! We'll be getting underway as soon as possible.
Thank you Mr. Cordukes for putting our info on a website. It looks really cool! Our whole class really likes it!
I enjoyed learning how different people, plants and animals live!
....I really do think its a wonderful thing because every body gets to see it....
Thanks so much for hosting this study...I already love the results, and so will the kids!
This site has been set up as a project by Cobourg District Collegiate Institute West, in the Kawartha Pine Ridge School Board. Its concept comes from a related project developed in Washington State by Janis Lariviere, David Masterman and Howard Waterman.
