Beginning website

It's looking like there are some things to be done individually, and some pages need contributions from both of us.
Individually we need:
At least 2 web pages that need one or two new ideas as well as a new item such as another lesson plan, podcast, or digital story, and 3 additional websites.  Also we need to post everything we've done thus far.

First we just need to come up with a structure for the pages for the site.
For example:
Description of the project itself, what is project-based learning.
Concept map featuring all of the ideas for our project.
Informational tools for students: Digital stories, podcast, ePals w/ googlemap
Lesson Plans: both 1&2 lesson plans and any additional lesson plans.
References: websites and collaborative blog.

maybe that could work as a rough outline... I don't know if I included everything it's a long list on the module of things we need.  Take a look, let me know your input.

Now that we know how to plan a garden and plant it, it is important to know the procedures to care for the garden.

Water is the most essential ingredient for plant health and growth.

Different plants need different amounts of water, so the plants should have been grouped by the amount of water needed.

Another important aspect of watering plants is mulch.  It keeps the soil cool in the hot sun, and it helps to absorb rain water by keeping evaporation at a minimum.

For flower gardens, it is a good rule of thumb to give them around 1 inch of water per week.

For vegetables, it is important to soak the plant thoroughly.

The weather is also important to monitor when watering your plants.

If it rains, you most likely will not need to water the plants that day.  Also, if the temperature is high or it is a very sunny day, the water will evaporate faster, so it is important to water more than on a cold or cloudy day.

Weeding is an important aspect of gardening as well.

If weeds begin growing in the garden, it is important to pull them out so they do not take away nutrients from the plants we are growing.

It is helpful to weed on a day or bi-daily basis, and is easiest to weed after it rains and if the weed is long enough to get a firm grip on to pull out the entire weed, including the roots.

When you weed, it is also important not to harm the existing plants in the garden.

Another important part of gardening is monitoring the bugs that are crawling or flying around your plants.

There are some bugs that are helpful, such as bees for pollinating, or bugs that eat the bugs eating your plants, but there are also bugs that can be destructive.

Checking the weather, watering, weeding, and keeping an eye on the bugs in your garden are important every day when taking care of your garden.
