Luckily, my classes have just enough left of their novels to read; & there are plenty of end-of-the year events occurring to keep us all occupied until the last day. This past week, we were busy editing & publishing the 8th issue of The Hornets' Nest; a school newspaper my students created & have done an excellent job on all yaer! The Hornets Nest allows students to brainstorm, survey, write & edit their own articles about school events for the student body to enjoy!
Speaking of end of the year activities, we had our Faculty Banquet this week, which was OUR time to get recognition for our hard work this school year! Below is a picture of a few colleagues & myself from the banquet. This group of ladies are not only my co-workers, but they were my collegiate classmates all four years in the Education Dept. So not only do we work for the best, we learned from the best, too!
As the end of the school year for my students is fast approaching; my quarter in graduate school is coming to a close, too. For a final project this week, we focused on Oral History. Oral History is the concept of students focusing on a topic, conducting various interviews with interviewees relevant to that topic, analyzing the data, and presenting it in an interesting way. I attached a link to my Prezi presentation to give you teacher-istas a better understanding of this new strategy. I definitely recommend adding "Studying Oral History" to your summer teaching to-do list!
Hang in there, we are only DAYS away from sleeping in & wearing flip-flops...
