Sunset High School hasn't added a story.
By sophomore year, students tire of writing five-paragraph essays on required class novels. They write for an audience of one: the teacher. They write with only one thing in mind: a grade. We must disrupt this pattern.
How can we spark curiosity? How can we inspire creativity, collaboration, and risk taking? I propose constructing a mini-museum for an authentic audience. After exploring choice texts throughout the year, the students will find one topic or subject that piqued their interest. The exploration, avenue of inquiry, and design of learning is then in their hands! They will develop an immersive, multimedia, multi-genre exhibit with a small group. At the end of the unit, we will turn the classroom into a mini museum and invite in peers and community members! Students will display the artifacts, speeches, interviews, newspaper articles, etc. that they created together. Knowing these students, I predict they will dig deeper and innovate beyond what I can imagine right now.
The money will be used to purchase reusable materials that will transform the classroom:
backdrops & and backdrop supports $233
hanging material $30
headphones $30
foam boards $52
vinyl banner $40
Total: $ 395
The space will reflect and honor the quality of their work, and it will prompt the audience to immerse themselves in the experience.
Thank you for your support!
