National Day of Listening November 26 - 0 views

  •  
    As we become an older country, our greatest stories are sometimes lost when members of the generation before us dies. This four week unit is designed to encourage students to discover the hidden stories of their families and community. During the course of this project, students will interview members of their community and/or family members and develop a newsletter that provides background of the time period of the story and the person telling the story. Additional stories will be shared with the students by downloading clips from the stories that have been shared with members of Story Corps(www.nationaldayoflistening.org), one of the largest oral history projects in the world.

Storybird - Collaborative storytelling - 0 views

    Storybird reverses the process of visual storytelling by starting with the image and "unlocking" the story inside. Choose an artist or a theme, get inspired, and start writing.

Experts & NewBIEs | Bloggers on Project Based Learning: How Does PBL Support Authentic ... - 0 views

  • To incorporate authentic literacy, be sure to answer these questions when you design and implement a project:Does the project include an authentic written product that someone outside the school context would create?Does the project include a written product that meets a real need?Does the project set students up to generate their own questions to frame their investigation into the Driving Question?Does the project enable students to find answers to their questions?Does the project include critique, ideally by an expert or the product recipient?Does the project allow students to present their work to the intended recipient?If you can answer “yes” to these questions, you’ve got it: a fully authentic literary experience for your students.
  • For example, in the Small Acts of Courage project at King Middle School in Portland, Maine, students researched and wrote about local stories of the Civil Rights Movement. In response to the Driving Question, “What was Maine’s contribution the Civil Rights Movement?“, they created a book for a public audience which included people who participated locally in the struggle for civil rights.

A Newspaper Project: It's News to Me! - 1 views

  •  
    Students will research, write, edit, revise, support, and publish their news stories and editorial opinion pieces-while learning, practicing, and mastering 21st century content standards, learning objectives, learning skills, and technology tools.Students will be publishing them in a 21st century, globally-themed newspaper format. This newspaper can be shared with not only the school but the community. This is a lesson for 4th grade, but I think it could be adapted for 3rd grade up.

Do Students need more Time Between Classes - 2 views

  •  
    Algebra II Students in High School "The student council has asked the principal to add one more minute between classes, to cut down on the number of students tardy for class. The principal has asked your class to study the matter and make a recommendation. Here are guidelines provided by the principal: 1 - Bus schedules cannot be changed. 2 - Classes must meet at minimum of 210 minutes a week 3 - Homeroom time is required." Benefits: Strong student buy-in! Students are always complaining about time between classes. Teaches data collection, statistics, time management, and poll taking techniques. Pitfalls: Students will come up with illogical arguments. Time!

Kindergarten Thanksgiving Investigation - 2 views

    I love the real world connections your students will be making and the authentic audience. They are going to love it and learn so much about Thanksgiving! I am wondering how you plan to have the kindergarteners reflect on their learning? I'd love to know so I have a better understanding for how to help Kinder with this.
