    The document describes an activity for Ms. Reynolds' third grade class where students study different land features. It lists three famous land features - Lake Tahoe in California, the Grand Canyon and Colorado River, and Mount Everest. Students are assigned the task of researching one of these landforms in groups to create a newspaper article about it, including its location, descriptions, illustrations, facts, and activities that can be done there. The reflection notes that finding appropriate kid-friendly websites for researching all the landforms was difficult but monitoring students online can help address that issue. The activity aims to further enrich students' learning about landforms while taking on the role of newspaper staff.

    Task: As newspaper staff in your group, pick one landform above to research further in
    order to create a newspaper on that landform. Included in your newspaper should be the
    location and descriptions of the land feature, an illustration and facts about the land
    features, and different activities that you could do when visiting this land feature.

    Reflection Page
    Standards: 3-3.5 Illustrate Earths saltwater and freshwater
    features (including oceans, seas, rivers, lakes, ponds, streams and
    glaciers).
    3-3.6 Illustrate Earths land features (including volcanoes, mountains,
    valleys, canyons, caverns, and islands) by using models, pictures,
    diagrams, and maps.

    While creating this activity in class, I thoroughly enjoyed picking


    the task for the students to do to further their knowledge on
    landforms. However, it seemed very difficult to find numerous
    appropriate kid-friendly websites for all of the landforms listed above.
    Due to the limited kid-friendly websites, my concern for this activity
    would be to make sure that the students are typing in the correct
    website and that could be solved by closely monitoring the students
    while they are completing this activity. I will use this activity in the
    future with my students because it is a way to enrich the standards
    that they have already learned in my class. This is a beneficial activity
    because the students are continuing to learn about landforms while
    carrying out a job of working for a newspaper. I think this is a fun
    activity to do with your students that they will enjoy!
