Collaborative Planning and 2-day Lesson with Ms. Lamothe
On November 4th and 5th Ms. Lamothe and I worked together on a 2-day research project: **What is a Ziggurat**?


 * Our Process:**
 * Two 15 minutes (give or take) planning sessions. One session for brainstorming and one session for finalizing our plan.
 * Ms. Lamothe created questions for the note taking sheet and the cool ziggurat design.
 * Ms. Clerkin created the link to [|Wallwisher] and the link to the [|Ziggurat Google Custom Search Engine].
 * Ms. Lamothe posted the links to Wallwisher and Google Custom Search on her HomeworkNow account.
 * Ms. Clerkin organized materials for building class ziggurats.

Yes, we had our glitches, evidenced in the slideshow, and we had some internet connection problems when there was an apparent power outage, but using wallwisher went really well. You can read more about using wallwisher as an exit ticket in my recent post to the [|McDevitt Library Blog.]
