Portfolio and Final Project

To be honest, this final project lesson is stressing me out. I changed my lesson plan completely around. at first i wanted to do a kindergarten level lesson and then changed my mind so now I'm going to do a sixth grade social studies lesson. I decided to have each kid do a project on a state in the United States. I want them to find out information such as, state bird, state flower, any tourist attractions that people go to see. national parks. Where it is located in the United States. The capital, the largest city, what the state flag looks like, the population and any other interesting information they may want to share. I would have the kids do a pages project and include all of their information in a formal way, but also have the opportunities to include pictures of the things such as state flag, state bird, flower and maybe a map of the state. This is the activity I'm having the class do when i do my presentation in a couple weeks. the other lesson i was going to have them do is an inspiration connecting all of the information that they have gathered.
my biggest challenge with this was figuring out the PEI's that are aligned with doing this project. i think that is going to be the hardest part of teaching, figuring out what needs to be taught and how it is related to the PEI's.
As for the E portfolio, i think my biggest concern would be, do i have everything we have done in the class included. i know that i won't have a problem relating them tot he steps as long as I'm sure i have included every activity we have done. i don't know if you're willing to do this but i think it would be beneficial for the class if you gave us a handout, with just a list of the activities you're looking for to be in the E portfolio. Other than that, i don't think i have any other concerns, if i do, I'll be sure to email you.
