A student reads a "This I Believe" essay at a live radio show put on by my 12th graders for the 8th graders. Several students had their essays published on NPR's This I Believe website.
I love to teach through projects as well as papers. I find the students enjoy mock trials, fashion shows, scrapbook-making, graphic novel creation, storyboarding, children's book writing, and festival creation as much as I do, and they learn the analytical skills they need while hardly noticing.
A Few Examples: Final Project for As I Lay Dying, Project for How the Garcia Girls Lost their Accents, Death of a Salesman Tic-Tac-Toe lesson, Project for Emma.
