AP Economics

Mike Hirsh recently met with Dr. Turner and me to find a way to make Unit 1 more engaging for AP Econ students in the fall. Our collaboration led to integrating real-world information about countries from around the globe as students learn basic economic concepts that provide the basis of understanding for the rest of the course. We look forward to seeing how this enhances students' engagement and understanding in the fall!

AP Physics Exam Review

As part of reviewing for their coming AP exam, Physics students are creating a unit of study for classmates to use including a Google forms branching quiz, an interactive learning experience, and a video tutorial over their selected topic. AP Physics teachers (Kristin Gonzales-Vega & Justin Szela) and I worked together to update an older assignment to include currently accessible options for students to use. "Interactive learning experience" options include creating a scavenger hunt, a digital breakout, a card sort, and more! I provided student resources and supports for the available digital options.

English 3 Socratic Seminar Discussion Questions

Jeanette Blair's English 3 students are using a SchoolAI space to support them in developing quality questions for a Socratic seminar. The space is set up to guide students with prompting questions to develop their own Socratic seminar questions without creating the questions for them or providing answers to the questions they develop. 

Mexican American Studies Recipes

Shannon Rosenfeld reached out for a brainstorming partner to help develop an assignment that would be engaging and encompass what students have learned so far this year. Mexican American Studies students will be creating a collaborative recipe book in Canva that includes not only recipes but stories and information about how the recipes relates to content they learned this year. 

World Geography Poster

World Geo teachers (Kevin Hunt & John Robbins) revamped a poster assignment to include a digital option too. I created an image frame in the shape of Africa in Canva for their students to insert their image collage. Students will have the option to create their poster digitally or on paper.
