Share it Out...

Today, we are going to take a look at our textbook pages we created.  I'm going to be dividing up your biome groups and you'll be in a group with people from all different biomes.  You'll share out the pages you created to your new group members, who will be creating either a mind map or mind sketches over your biome.

A mind map is an organizational strategy we have done before (remember mindmeister?).

A mind sketch is a new way of note taking.  Instead of writing down bullets or notes, sketch a quick image.  The images should end up flowing together to help you to remember key ideas about the biome being presented.  Whichever option you chose, just make sure that you are clear because you will be reporting back to your group.  

Everyone is their own author of their textbook page and different authors may present different types of information.  So as a biome group, you'll swap information to get a clear view of the different biomes.  With your biome group swap, you'll add to your mind map or mind sketches.

Tomorrow is 1/11/11 - the nexus of time (aka Seinfeld reference) and we'll change things around and shake things up to build on our understanding of different biomes.
