Scrip Rough Draft

Here is my rough draft guys...please let me know of any changes you think should be made or things to be added because I'm not sure how good it is....and I was thinking that mine would be a good one to go right before the kitchen saftey script.

For this project we will be donig lots of research on cultures and the food of cultures. Doing this kind of research is going to require to spend lots of time on computers and internet searching. This is why something liek computer saftey will be very important in our class room.


The Internet can be a wonderful resource for kids. They can use it to research school reports, communicate with teachers and other kids, and play interactive games. Kids who are old enough to punch in a few letters on the keyboard can literally access the world. But that access can also pose hazards.

For example, student might do an online search for "Lego." But with just one missed keystroke, the word "Legs" is entered instead, and the child may be directed to a slew of websites with a focus on legs — some of which may contain unapproprate material. That's why it's important to be aware of what your students see and hear on the Internet.

Just like any safety issue, it's wise to talk with students about your concerns, take advantage of resources to protect them, and keep a close eye on their activities.

As a teacher there are many options we can use to protect our students. Many online communites like, Tapped In, can be to communicate with other educators. This allows you to share safe places for the students to view on the internet. Wikis are also something very useful to provide internet saftey. They allow users to edit content online. Wikispaces are a form of a wiki and you can use them to set up pages for each group. These pages can have sections in them that have approved sites they can use to research information. This can also help them start a page for their own group to help keep their projects organized.

Providing safe places for our students to research their cultures will help them get to the next step of the project; planning a culture recipie and getting a chance to step into the kitchen.

**Ok that was a super rough draft, and seems like it may not be as well written or as long as you guys have your scripts...so let me know if you have any suggestions please**
