for the week of February 26 - March 2, 2001
Highlights :
Can Your Class Find Where 'X' Marks the Spot ?
Last Week's interactive Pirate Treasure Dig is also available for you to do online anytime in a read-only web site with hot links to the resources needed to answer the questions. Start your search at http://www.rain.org/campinternet/channelhistory/culture/channel-secret-treasure.html . The second half of the dig requires map reading, geography, and analysis to discover where the hidden 'treasure' might actually be located. If you did the Dig last week - be sure to go back to the link above and work on finding where your students would put an X to mark the spot. Fax your maps in or send email to let us know where you think the treasure is 'buried'.
TEACHERS ONLY - How to Create Your Own Internet Dig - try out the sample Dig in the Teacher's Chat room and then - create your own ! Guided steps provided to empower every teacher to create their own interactive Dig. We will showcase your work next month, so we ask EVERY TEACHER to test out a Dig in the Chat Room this month to perfect your end product. Imagine yourself, as a teacher, building links to resources from the Internet to tell your students a story that gives them insight into the life and times of people from long ago. What will you tell them ? what will you show them ? What will you ask them ? What will they Learn ? this is the FUN of creating your OWN Internet Dig!

This Week in Channel Island Region History
Ahoy Mateys - we hope you have had a good chance to learn about those fierce Channel Pirates!! Keep studying online at http://www.rain.org/campinternet/channelhistory/expedition2/pirates.html and be sure to check out the reading section that has pirate history activities and Treasure Island resources. http://www.rain.org/campinternet/channelhistory/culture/treasure-island-channel.html The tale of what brought Robert Louis Stevenson to California is an amazing love story .. and that he formed his ideas for the Treasure Island masterpiece here speaks much of his time in California. This section has interesting links to pirate resources, and to the full text of Treasure Island online. We also recommend showing one of the suggested Treasure Island films to your class if you do not have printed text available for each student.
