Barb - It's nice to hear you say that. It's also nice to hear that you re trying something new. It is so much easier for us teachers to just take our old lesson plans and keep using them. I think that anything that helps students find school more interesting and that relates to their interests outside school is a good thing, as long as they are still learning the basics of reading, writing ... We don't want a generation of illiterates. One of my goals, that I don't meet often enough is to install a love of learning into my students. I think that with projects like the one you just did, does just that.
