Projects, To Kill a Mockingbird, Short Stories

Hello everyone. In my classes right now we are in the midst of several bigger projects.

In Modern Media we are working on our media projects in which students will create their own form of media. The choices that I gave them are as follows: a website, PowerPoint presentation, podcast, or video. Each of these projects is very involved and we will be spending the rest of this quarter on them. One of the things that I have encourage my students to do is to use their imaginations and creativity to create well developed projects. I will be helping them with every step so there should not be any reason anyone does not succeed unless they choose not to. These projects will all be published in some format usually online. This is a great hands-on project for these students and you should see some great work very soon.

In English 10 we are currently reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Throughout the course of the book we will be taking comprehension quizzes, vocabulary quizzes and completing study guides. We are currently on Chapter 7 and will be taking our next quiz on Thursday.

Creative Writing is finally doing some real writing. They are creating a short story, 10 pages in length. We have been building up to this since the beginning of the school year so hopefully we will have some good stories.
