Today, we've started working on our speeches. We'll be giving TED Talk style speeches and inviting teachers, parents, and other community folks to see what our passion projects are on May 8.
I've given students outline organizers to help organize the important talking points in their speeches (credit goes to Mrs. Raville, who gave these bad boys to her 20-timers last year). Students will highlight their successes for the year, and talk about how they met or didn't meet goals, what they struggled with and what they liked or didn't like about the project as a whole.
On another note, I'm so impressed not only by how quickly our tech staff have been clearing student blogs and websites so they are open on our school network, but also by how flexible my students have been when they try a site that's been blocked. It's been a good learning experience to hit this road-block and learn how to continue our projects despite this change.
