6. The design conveys a theme of world traveling. It works very well with your project. The text was readable, and writing was clear and appropriate for 7th grade.
7. The task consistently asks for the students to think critically and reflect on their lesson for the day. The travel journal was a great idea, and will help students remember the following day what they learned or at the end of the lesson to create their holiday. Having a lesson stretched out like this over two weeks can be challenging for students to pick up exactly where they left off each day. The journal is a great tool to use to overcome this challenge.
8. The rubrics were not linked yet.
9. The task does not mention what Web 2.0 technology they are using. It is probably in the directions that are not linked yet. Some technologies they could use to create greeting cards are Photoshop, Paint, or Cardvio greeting cards which is an online program that allows you to create your own greeting cards.
10. The students are creating cards, but I didn't see a way for students to interact with one another. -
After talking with Danielle and Jenna I found out the blog they are using is Web 2.0 technology. They are also planning on having students submit their work to a site where they can share their work. The blogs are also in discussion form which will help students understand why others find certain holidays interesting.

6. The design conveys the theme of world exploration. All text is readable, and writing is age appropriate for 8th graders. The introduction has a couple capital letters that aren't necessary. The lessons portion has a few errors. The key terms is a great idea. It is a good reference tool for students to look at while they are going through the lesson.
7. The task asks students to think critically throughout the lesson. The step which asks students to write what they think each movement is about before they learn about them. I liked the different mini lessons especially the first one it was very creative and will help the students relate their work to what they learned before creating a bigger piece at the end of your lesson.
8. The evaluation is not completed
9. They used web quest technology
10. The end project is a group project where students worked in groups. This is a great way for students to learn from one another why that movement was their favorite.

This link is to an article on CNN about a designer using fabric made out of milk instead of water. There no need to cry over your spilled milk now because it could be used for an eco-friendly fabric!
