Junior High School is Difficult

Middle Schools are very difficult for students. They have not yet begun feeling "big" in 6th grade and they are being pushed up into feeling "really small" in 7th grade. They don't get the chance to lead, and their academic schedule is identical to high school - including subjects and hours. Instead of allowing middle school students to shine, we have relegated them to a mini-high school, with less creativity and more exams and homework.

Having fun while learning?

Here are two options for keeping track of your project. Or, if you have a system you prefer, you can use a different system, you can use that:

1. Click on this link to create a Unit Planner and Timeline

2. Click here to see another Project Planning Sheet. It is my favorite brainstorming/organizing place.

Regardless of which way you do it, please be sure that the title of the file includes your name and to project name

Example: "Adele Raemer, Instagram Project Planner"

Reflect and Adapt while in the Process of the Project

During the implementation sessions, you will be asked on certain dates to complete a attendance GoogleForm where you will give feedback and a progress report on your program.See dates in the chart on the home page. We recommend you put reminders in your calendar so you don't miss any. We will also send whatsapp reminders, so make sure you join our group using the invitation on the home page.

IF YOU DO NOT SEND IN THE ATTENDANCE FORM ON TIME, YOU WILL NOT GET CREDIT FOR THIS COURSE.

You can only miss one form, and still be within the 80% requirement for credit.
