Learning Log
1. Combine the following sentences:

Jews visit the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem.
Muslims journey to the holy city of Mecca.
Catholics try to get to Lourdes, France.

2. Read the JSD's TEST prompt:

With advancements in technology, some students have chosen to complete their schoolwork through the Internet, rather than in traditional classrooms. Those who support a traditional classroom approach to learning argue that it provides more of an opportunity for students to interact with the teacher and other students. Those who feel that learning over the Internet is better argue that it allows students to learn anytime and anywhere they choose.

Do you feel education is better provided in traditional classrooms or when offered over the Internet? Write an essay to be read by a classroom teacher in which you persuade the reader that either traditional classroom education or Internet-based learning is better.

3. Make TWO t-charts.

4. Next brainstorm the pros and cons of TRADITIONAL CLASSROOMS.

5. Then brainstorm the pros and cons of INTERNET-BASED LEARNING.
