Mount Everest

1999
We made a web site project about Mount Everest. Jeff made a big web site last year and he had followed the ascent of Mr. Everest last year by Tom Whittaker. Jeff asked Johnny to be his partner and they asked Mrs. Smith to find them another partner at another school. Each year in Oregon we do projects to meed State Standards. We are using this project for that and our teacher scores it using a special scoring guide. It becomes part of our portfolio. We wanted to learn more about this famous mountain and why people climb it. We wanted to learn about the country where it is. We thought it would be neat to share with other kids by them visiting our site.We really had fun dressing up in the climbing equipment and taking our picture and pasting it so we looked like we were on Mount Everest.
