Monday Afternoon at Lake Ontario

This is what the lake looked like today. It was very windy, so the waves were breaking on the beach. Unlike an ocean, Lake Ontario is calm when the weather is calm. When the weather is stormy or windy, the lake becomes active. I took this video in Webster Park. 

Take a Look at the Jeopardy Games We Created

Go to the following links to play our Jeopardy games. We worked in groups to pool and test our knowledge about several interesting topics. We used English for an authentic task, and demonstrated higher order thinking skills as we analysed, synthesized, evaluated information and created our games. Test yourself, and let us know what you think about our project.
