Voices of the Sixties and The Secret Life of Bees
Secret Life of Bees
This was a literature blog looking at this novel. Students would be utilizing blogging and scanning tech skills. The students had posted original artwork and posting analysis and comments on the literary elements of the book. Students could communicate with others and share their responses to the book. Students also could interview the author. This was an in-depth focus on sharing their critical analysis of the book and sharing with a wider audience.
Voices of the Sixties
This blog is a collection of stories of Vietnam soldiers from a small town in Oregon. This project included many different levels of creative opportunity. Students were researching, writing letters, producing videos, public speaking, and interviewing. This project gave the students investment in thier work and relevance in the project. Students had to use many NETS standards- blogging skills, practice video editing, using images in a purposeful way, and creating a message with a variety of media.
In looking at both of these projects- we discussed the process of applying these tech skills and really critically looking at the quality and message of what information is being shared in all the ways of communication.
