Well, I'm grading your final project lesson ideas right now, still not able to move very quickly after yesterday's feast ... and there are many good ideas again. One idea, in particular, really stands out, and I thought I'd share! Hayley and Savanna (an English teacher and a History teacher) are collaborating on a project where students learn about the Civil Rights movement, read a Civil Rights novel, and create an iMovie documentary that will be fun and that will satisfy standards in BOTH subjects. How cool is this? The students will learn more by doing it more effectively, the project will be cross-disciplinary, they'll have fun doing their homework for a change, and making the iMovie project will be less work because it will count as homework for two classes.
How cool is that? Way to go!
Here's their blogs about their idea:
