Week 10... Traveling Stories (or sentences)

The Traveling Story was an activity that I have never done in a classroom setting. It was fun and I can definately see how it could be an activity for a secondary classroom. This activity can be modified for many different content areas, for example:
    in social studies the students can retell facts of an ancient civilization;
    in science students can restate the life cylce of animals and organisms;
    in math the students can randomly state addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division facts; 
    in history students can name a historical figure and name his/her accomplishments.

This activity is fun, engaging, and great for obtaining student participation.
