Ideas for Involving Students

I am seeking things to do with my students (and perhaps other people's students) that would contribute to the inquiry project AND help build classroom community.

1. Assessing students' perception of their communities with circle diagrams. This asks students to list and describe their communities (e.g., family, sports, school, church, etc.) and indicate where they think they are in each community (e.g., part of the inner circle, on the outskirts, or somewhere in betwee) and where they want to be.

2. Writing about community. Definitely need ideas here.
a. "Where I'm From" poems
b. Personal narratives about writing (surely I can get more specific than that)

More to come...gotta update the wiki first...
