Remixed Canvas

For my remixed canvas I chose a canvas on a unit plan of French traveling. This original unit plan is based on the student's skill of the French language to travel through France and produce a French brochure.  I used this idea of the French culture to produce a unit plan on the earth's weather and climate system pertaining specifically to the climate of France. This unit would normally be applied to the student's current climate so that they could follow the weather as they see it.  However, this unit broadens the student's knowledge of the earth's entire climate system.
As I remixed the canvas I noticed how most of the original content was erased.  I thought this was odd since it took away from the idea of remixing a canvas.  It was more like creating an entire new canvas.  It would have been more beneficial if the content was transferred to the new canvas.  If anything, the major templates, like the main idea of the canvas, the photo gallery, and the video, should have been carried over.  You can find my remixed canvas here.

  1. That sound like a really good collaboration. If I were in your class I would be more excited to learn about climate if I were daydreaming about traveling to other countries and vacationing in different climates. It seems like you could spin this unit off into many directions as well. I experienced a similar erasing when I remixed a canvas. Playground should definitely get on that problem!
