Welcome!

Hello 2nd Class!! Welcome to our class blog.

This is where you will find all the information you need to start your project. In class you will have been put into a project group, and these are the people you will be working with. Each group will have a different question to answer, and there will be different websites for you to look at where you can do your research and find the information you need.

When you have gathered all your information, you can start your project and it is up to you how you decide to present it. You can use your scrapbook if you like, or you can present your project using a computer program such as Powerpoint, Photostory for Windows or Microsoft Word.

Have a look at this sample project: http://www.slideshare.net/kim.mulkey/italy-powerpoint-done
You may get some ideas for your project here.



Here are some of the websites that contain information on Italy. Remember to ask a parent or guardian for permission, and do not move off the website without checking with them first!


http://dinolingo.com/languages/italian.html (there’s a short video here with some Italian words for you to learn)
http://blog.dinolingo.com/2011/05/04/italian-culture-for-children/ (there’s a good list of inventors on this site)
http://www.squidoo.com/venice-italy-information (this website was created by a lady who went on holiday to Venice. She has included some great information, but there are some advertisements on the page.)
http://pbskids.org/buster/blog/it_venice_bl.html (this is a basic, but nice website)
