Getting to know…
Objectives:
Primary activity
Have parent and child identify several people that they are interested in learning more about. The parent then searches the Internet using specified sites to find information on this person, including information the child will be able to understand. (Could be text, video, pictures) Over several class sessions, parent and child then look at the information, discuss it and begin writing thoughts in a journal about what they have seen online.
Additional activities
Have each group specify the parent and child's favorite web site. These could then be bookmarked or turned into a web page creating a class Who's Who web resource
Have the parents discuss how they decided which sites to use with the child
For older children, involve them in the search process
Advanced activities
Find out where the person is from, then use a site such as MapQuest to find the location
Compare that location to the students
