Day 8 Presentation Day!

We presented. All of you were great.

The other groups learned so much from you all.  You should all be proud of how you worked together. The information you shared all came from you.  Ms. Capers and I only helped you deliver the message more clearly.  I encourage you to continue to share what you learned with friends and family.  Like we learned from "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead," change is a chain reaction.  Pass the knowledge on!

Day 7 Practice, Practice, Practice

You worked really hard today. People pulled together to design the set, write skits, practice the skits, incorporate the hip-hop dance, and thread the parts together. We ran through the performance about 6 times today. You used your talents to make a great commercial. I can't wait to see the performance tomorrow. You will be great.

Day 6 Working On the Campaign, "Stand Up and Play"

Students began putting the pieces together on Tuesday, June 19, 2012.  Students learned many new things.  They spent the morning figuring out how they wanted to present the information and what they wanted to share.  Some decided to create print ads. Others are working on television commercials. A few students are working on a Powerpoint presentation.

They will present on Thursday, June 21, 2012.
