Migration from Rural to Urban

For this week's task, it is requested from us to create a Padlet page about some selected topics.

My friend Seda Erdoğan and I have decided to write about migration. Our exact topic is "Migration

from rural areas to urban areas". It has become a common problem especially in the last two cent

uries.

We have decided to use KWL charts. KWL stands for  "What I know, What I want to know, and What

I learned." There are some benefits of using KWL charts, students can show their background 

knowledge, they can set an aim for learning new information, and connect the cognitive link

between these. During the process of forming a KWL chart, we have written what we have already

know about migration from rural to urban. Then we have made some research about this topic.

We have found out that why people decide to migrate, what do they do after migration, and

are they happy with the migration. After reading those, we have explicitly selected the ones

that correlate with our topic, and have added them on the chart.

During this process we have used a website named Padlet. It is so easy to make a group wall

with this online software. You can add participants to your wall, make them admin, also if

you enable it, everyone who visit your page is able to comment on your charts. So it is a 

collaborative tool not for only groups but also for the whole class. But most importantly

selecting your group mates is the important part of group-works. Knowing with that I have

worked with Seda before, I was certain that she is a hardworking and determined student. 

So I can say that I'm glad to be group-mates with her. 

Here is our Padlet page, do not hesitate to write your comment on it if you would like to 

do so!
