Kendra All Dr. M. Here's my question: I searched the Texas elementary science standards for these individual words "ice," "snow," "crystal," and "cycle." I found references to plant and animal life cycles, the water cycle, and the melting properties of ice. [] Did I miss something? In presenting to elementary teachers (I thought you were presenting to elementary librarians...???), you need to be sure you are sticking to examples of content they are required to teach. Perhaps the life cylce of a snowflake is taught in your school, but from my reading of the standards, there are other more central and **essential** science objectives.

Be sure to think in terms of the grade level at which the standards will be taught. When addressing K-5 teachers, you probably want to shoot for the middle. It you are set on doing a primary lesson, then specify that your audience is K-2 classroom teachers. Many fifth-grade teachers would simply tune out if you make the presentation too primary for their perceived needs.

Best, Dr. M. (10-18-10) 2nd Message by Dr. M. There are different "right" ways to approach this. Think of this as a lesson plan. What are your goals? What are your objectives? If you want them (elementary teachers or librarians) to know the steps and value the Big6 and integrate it into their teaching, you can: 1. give them a teaching example (based on elementary curriculum standards) 2. give them a technology integration example (related to elementary curriculum standards) Either way, you have selected a topic that is relevant to your audience. If you use the Web 2.0 example, you should give them actual standards-based lesson plan examples as well. I think it's time to reread the assignment sheet and rubric : __ http://ls5443.pbworks.com/A_2_4 __

Audience: ElementaryTeachers Relevance: Elementary Teachers can relate to lessons such as: the water cycle,life cycle of a plant, authors purpose, ABC order,Geometric Shapes(per our conference call)

Persuasion: Through a new technology tool that very few have seen or used - animoto and glogster - tools that anyone can use for a different presentation and have been appealing to an audience.

Teachers - Web2.0 tools, engaging students, freebies, food Librarians - scheduling, purchasing, lesson planning, chocolate
 * IDEAS**: Kids - video games, toys, rubberband bracelets, tv shows

Teachers - Web2.0 tools: how do the tools help you teach Librarians - Scheduling: how well you manage your time and effectively use it
 * Lifelong Learning:** Kids - video games: selecting the appropriate game/ tv: selecting appropriate shows/ bracelets: which one to keep and trade
