applying chip's climbing adventures in keyboarding

Published May. 16, 2008

In keyboarding class we have been keeping up with Chip’s climb to the top of Mount Everest. We have applied what we have learned about Chip’s experience, about his climb, and how we feel about Martin going to Everest. One way that we integrated this learning experience in to our keyboarding class is by practicing typing our thoughts, opinions and questions in the different paragraph formats that we learned in class.

 

In class we learned about block, indented and hanging indent paragraphs. We then applied that knowledge to what we have learned about Everest and about Chip’s climb to the top. Below we have included some samples for your review.

 

Another way that we have integrated what we learned in Keyboarding class with "Martin goes to Everest" was through creating properly formatted tables with information about the height of Mt. Everest.  This has helped me and my fellow classmates understand actually, how high Mt. Everest really is.

 

Here are some student’s thoughts on Chip’s climb to the summit of Mt. Everest.  

   

Hannah-

 

Chip has become an inspiration at Martin Middle School.  A lot of students (and teachers) have come to recognize the incredible dangerousness of the mountain.  I think it is great how a lot of kids (and teachers) are cheering him on to the top.  If I were him, I would be so grateful and lucky to have a whole school supporting me as I made the trek to the highest mountain in the world.  Many of Martin’s teachers are especially excited about this experience.  They have gotten really into it and have pushed all their students harder, just to learn about Mount Everest. 

  

Keerthana-

 

Mt. Everest has come into the curriculum here at Martin Middle School in numerous ways. For example, we had a design-a-flag contest where talented students would draw a simple design about one or more of several themes and the three contest winners would have their design included on Chip’s flag that he will place when he (hopefully) reaches the summit. One runner-up will have their design placed as a logo button on the website. Another example is when we sold red-and-black bracelets at $2 each and the proceeds went to a school in Nepal for financial aid. The goal was to sell a thousand bracelets as an entire school and we exceeded the goal! In addition, the grade level that sold the most bracelets will have their assistant principal camp out on top of the school roof for an entire night!  That really bought out Martin’s school spirit! Seventh grade won the contest and Mr. Rowsey had to sleep on top of the roof last Friday night
