Today I spent some time showing students a few examples of how students from last year made their "What was it like?" poster boards. i also presented a brief PowerPoint about when I was in the 7th grade (1991). We listened to some music from the 90s and 80s, as well.
I introduced a project that CMS and Beachwood students will be completing, outside of class. Podcasts for Tomorrow is a chance for students to collaborate and interview professionals in all walks of life. Over the course of several weeks, small groups of students will work during ICE to create interview questions and then actually interview professionals (doctors, lawyers, electricians, military personal, politicians, etc) about education, skills and culture. Interviews will be turned into podcasts and posted on the website. Students have a hand-out, that they received today, if you would like to read more about this exciting new opportunity.
Homework is to continue completing event research (if not already done), schedule a time to talk to parent about life/culture/school when they were in the 7th grade and begin working on poster boards OR PowerPoints.
