Active Learning in Language and Humanities
Check out the awesome 7th grade team in these 2 new videos:
First is a video of Mrs. Alexander-Brown's classes Whirligig novel projects. After reading the novel as a class, students used their own interests to create something to consolidate what they learned. They had a choice of creating an annotated soundtrack, movie trailer, story re-write or symbolic whirligig. They ended up learning about the novel and about themselves as the participated in this literary maker movement. Pair it with Mr. Milligan's Pigman live court reenactment videos for examples of active student engagement!
Speaking of active student engagement, next is a video of 7th grade social studies World War I reenactment. Students answered review questions for a chance to charge the enemy, but had to watch out for the barbed wire and gas attacks if they wanted to win. As Mr. Egnot and students note in the video, the real lesson is there were no winners!

During lunchtime on Digital Learning Day, students volunteered for this positive digital citizenship project. Bucking the perception of teenagers using digital devices for bullying, they used social media to bring more good in to the world. Part of the 2015 #Everyonematters global event, the video was featured on the Everyone Matters Day international Facebook page. Watch it and see if it doesn't renew your faith in the youth of today!
