Using Groves Index assignment

When I was searching through the index I found several pages that were of interest to me. Most of them interested me because they involved subjects that I teach of have taught in the past. There were two pages devoted to Plimouth Plantation. The third graders at my school have been visiting Plimouth for severall years and I beleive this would be an interesting assignment to do with my students. The page is named /Ferrari/.
There was also a page that was titled "Student Credit Union" by /donnelly/. This page was very interesting. He assigned his students the job of buying their grades using checks, bank statements, and other items used to track savings and spendings. Sounds like a fun assignment to get kids interested in using a bank account.
Finally, I just wanted to say that the most useful part of this index is that it helped me organize my thoughts to come up with a final project. Being able to see the different ways that people set up their sight helped me to visualize how I would like to do my own project. This site was very interesting and informative.

  1. Its funny how, while reading your blog, that those two sites came back to me without seeing them on the computer, but in my memory. Both were excellent, but the CU site awed me when he did it.

    I'm happy that you found some useful infomation while perusing the index. In the morning, we're having a tour of FSC online resources by Linda LaBlanc, but in the afternoon we'll get a lot of work done on your project.

    Thank you.
