Today the 6th graders flexed their wisdom muscles as they developed the success criteria for their videography mini unit. They first had to look at the schedule for the rest of the semester and the other things that we already have planned. This helped them set realistic goals for the amount of time that they have. They then developed broad goals for the project, including a reflection piece that will tie their practice of wisdom throughout the project. The students then viewed several sample videos, took notes, and used those notes to help develop a rubric for their project. After the rubric was developed, the students split into partners or decided to work individually. 

At the end of the day, the 6th graders were able to write their first letters to their senior pen pals. I will deliver them tonight, so they will hopefully get responses soon!
