Loved the Constellations!

Tracy, I loved the entire lesson. It was a lot of fun. I liked the fact that you presented the lesson with the YouTube video to explain what a myth was. I really was unsure how to go about it until I saw the video. That was a great tool! I also liked the fact that you give the students lot of time to work at the computer to explore Google Sky and Google Earth. They will learn so much from that experience with you becoming a "facilitator" of learning. I can imagine that they will probably also be sharing with their neighbors cool things that they have discovered. Fun! If you didn't want to take the time to visit the PBS site you could always give that information out as "something you might want to try at home or at the library". Just an idea. I also liked the non-threatening way that you allowed each of us to share our myths. There was no pressure and so if it was crap I could have just kept my mouth shut and you wouldn't have embarrassed me in front of the entire class. Thank you! I appreciate that sense of security and I'm sure you're students do as well. (My agency is still in tact.)
