Wow! Many changes in the district this year and I am desperately trying to keep up with administration's new initiatives. Mary, Todd, and I have done a lot of collaboration so far this year for our English 2A classes. We created a lesson plan allowing students to create their own photo stories as well as write a narrative paper. The expectations for the photo story and the narrative paper are available on my website below.
Upon reflection of the project, I wish we would have had more time for students to share their projects in class. The students worked extremely hard on their photo stories and were so proud of their accomplishments. It would have been a powerful experience to begin the year with students introducing themselves with their photo stories and feeling that sense of pride and success when beginning the school year. However, because of some of the district's new initiatives, we were not able to spend class time doing oral presentations.
As for my website and wiki, both are up and running, but neither are fully functioning yet. The website is more developed than the wiki, I would appreciate feedback on either.
Thanks,
Lisa
