Mr. Anderson’s Asia Studies classes researched a variety of systems – religion, economic, etc. After finding information about their topic, students created an online cartoon to demonstrate their understanding. Students must demonstrate an understanding of the topic and show how this type of system can benefit society. Click here for a listing of all projects.

Your librarians,

Students are reading Bless Me Ultima for Honors Communication Arts I class. Mrs. Lilley created a voicethread and students responded to her question on the voicethread. They also posted a question for their classmates to answer as well. (Mrs. Lilley learned about voicethread from the library media specialists. They worked to create this voicethread and help students respond to the thread.)

In Africa Studies, students researched a problem or issue affecting the African nations and determined how different organizations are addressing these issues. Students then created a video highlighting the issues and how the organizations help. Incorporating 21st century skills, students followed the ethical use of information guidelines.
All student projects are posted on the Africa Studies wiki.
Power of Persuasion
Students in Sophomore Communication Arts classes researched controversial issues using SIRS Researcher and Opposing Viewpoints. Students determined the persuasive techniques used in editorials. In turn, students wrote an editorial expressing their views with facts and opinions found. To synthesize their knowledge, students created public service announcements utilizing persuasive techniques.
Student projects were posted to Teachertube. View all videos. *Videos not shown did not meet copyright or privacy guidelines.
In Mrs. Culp’s U.S. History classes, students were assigned to visit an historical site in the Kansas City area. For details about the project, see Mrs. Culp’s web site. Students created Voicethreads to document their experiences.
In Africa Studies, students created a toondoo (cartoon) highlighting the important features of their type of system. Discussion and presentations were also given during class.

Mr. Anderson
U.S. History classes
The library media specialists collaborated with Mr. Anderson to create an engaging and interactive activity with World War II topics. Each student had a WWII topic/section; they completed the three part assignment to communicate their findings and create discussion using the Voicethread. (See handout for information – Voicethread).
