This week, our scholars have been researching a famous golfer on MackinVia, including Arnold Palmer, Babe Zaharias, Byron Nelson, Jack Nicklaus,
Jordan Spieth, Lorena Ochoa, Lucy Li, and Michelle Wei. They have looked up and summarized information about their golfer's early life, achievements, awards, influence on others, fun facts, and they inferred character traits about them. They then used their research to create diamante poems using Read Write Think's Diamante Poem maker! RWT also has a diamante poem app that students may download onto their iPads!
The next step, which many students have completed, is writing a script for an interview with their golfer with the purpose of telling others about their golfer's life and achievements. The final step will be students recording their interviews later this week!
