Topic of the Unit-Planning a Vacation to Spain Summary-Students will successfully plan a vacation to the city of their choice in Spain. This unit will span across most content areas, specifically Communication Arts and Social Studies for grades 3 and 4. Through the use of Intel Tools, I hope to incorporate real world experiences for the students. The overall plan is for students to immerse themselves in the Spanish culture as they virtually travel in Spain. My goal is for this project to be more than a "travel brochure". I want to provide the students will the tools they need to actually feel like they are traveling in Spain through the use of technology. 5-4-10 In this unit the visual ranking tool will allow the students to rank the cities and places they would like to visit. It would also give the students a chance to view the lists of others and compare, discuss, and reflect on the lists. 5-12-10 I am feeling ok about training today. I have a good start on my lesson and I am planning on using 2 of the tools in the lesson.
