One of my goals is to be able to integrate technology into the language arts classroom. Specifically, to enhance the existing curriculum. The third grade MacMillian McGraw -Hill series has a story in Book 2 Unit 2 titled Time For Kids: Pure Power. The article tells how scientists are turning the sun and the wind into pollution- free energy. I ask the students to design a future car using pollution -free energy power. The students always enjoy the task, but I found some excellent resource to enhance their understanding at the following sites:
