The league allows students to cast votes, individually, in which they choose between two competing people, ideas or things. In a discussion on climate change, for example, they could vote for which they thought was the bigger cause of global warming: aeroplane emissions or volcanic activity - discuss! Each student chooses repeatedly from random pairs. By repeatedly casting votes, the students create a league, ranked in order of the most powerful, important, popular or influential. The results are often unexpected - students are surprised to see how their peers voted - and a good starting point for discussion. Why does this person have more power than another person? What makes this pop star more influential than that politician? How is this power used?

It is a classic satire written in the first person of a seventh grade student discussing his experiences in elementary school.

The focus is public education but it's not a stretch to extend to classroom training in the workplace."

As you might well know I am really enthusiastic about blogging with students. I have shared my adventures through several opportunities and I'm determined to keep spreading the word in order to bring other educators on board. Therefore, I have created a LiveBinder with useful tools, examples and resources. I thought this would be a good idea to encourage other teachers to get their kids blogging
