"One must think like a hero to behave like a merely decent human being," wrote memoirist May Sarton
Next week, the 9th grade writing teacher Zac and I will work together for an end of semester project. The corresponding ppt is more detailed and I will use this as their introduction.
302/303: The 302 and 303 class will research a biography of a Social Justice hero or heroine, fill out a Facebook profile page and then choose a final project: interview this person, write an imaginary diary entry of this person, or create a comic book/book of their life.
PROJECT DUE DATE: FRIDAY JUNE 18 4PM (MY OFFICE)
Here are some useful links for biographies:
Asian Americans and Moments in People’s History
Ducksters
301:The 301 class with their higher level English will focus on using the computer lab to research about local NGOs in Taiwan and will create a local NGO. Their grading rubric for the research and FB page is here.
Ideally if wehad time, their final project would be either to chose to interview someone from a local NGO or write a project proposal for a local NGO. Here are some sample project proposals.
I realized from their computer lab research during our class debate, they have very little exposure on how to research, so I found some helpful links.
