Research on Environmental Issues
Earlier in the school year, to cap off our unit on the environment, my 6th graders completed an environmental issues research project and presentation. This project was a great opportunity for the students to demonstrate both their public speaking and tech skills, as well as provide a forum for student-directed learning. Each student had a chance to teach their peers about their topic and lead a demonstration or activity related to their environmental issue. They did a fantastic job and came up with activities that really enhanced their presentations. The students were engaged and supportive of their peers.
Just a few examples of their demonstrations/activities:
