 My students worked diligently on this project. They studied a landmark in Paris and then created Google Earth Placemarks about their landmark. For each Placemark they wrote a paragraph and included a picture. If you would like to view their placemarks, you will need to have Google Earth on your computer. You can download it [|here] for free. They have each created a page on this Wiki. Feel free to look and to leave them a comment in the discussion tab.

Keep in mind when reading this Wikispace that there are two important things happening here. The first is that the students did great projects on Paris Monuments. They researched, wrote paragraphs, found relevant photos, and gave presentations about the monument. Secondly, they are learning to take pride in their work and to do it for more of an audience than just me. The comments that they are leaving for each other are real. They are looking at the projects as an 8th grader would, and I love that. The spelling and grammar aren't perfect but the feelings are genuine and thoughtful. Please leave comments for us so our audience can grow beyond our classroom.
