I'm testing out a project idea with Donna Treece's 5th grade classroom. My
high school students  will:
1. work in groups to prepare sets of clues to a weekly biology theme.
2. submit the clues using email (one clue/person in group)
3. check the email for their clue answers from the 5th grade teams and keep
tally of each teams answers
SAMPLE : Monday - This animal's baby is called a JOEY.
         Tuesday- This eucalyptus eating animal is incorrectly
                  called a bear.
         Wednesday - This cartoon character spins like a tornado.
         Thursday -This word refers to "pouched mammals"
         Friday - This country is an island where most pouched
                  mammals are located.

Theme of the Week (3 words):
Bonus question: What is the only pouched mammal of North America?

Project will last 5 weeks.  My students will generate some sort of
certificate or award  for the teams at the end of the year using computer
programs available.
