Every year during the fall semester our school district celebrates College Week. During the 2016-2017 school year, in order to prepare for this week, my AVID elective classes worked on a project in which they had to research information about different universities and present this information to their classmates. In an effort to raise college awareness school wide, I had their Power Points streaming during all lunches that week. Something that took me by surprise was how excited the students were to have their final projects displayed during lunch. As I walked by the cafeteria I could overhear the students eagerly talking about their projects with other students; it was beautiful. Something I plan on doing differently this upcoming school year is incorporating COVA and giving students a choice over which platform they want to use to showcase their learning. This past year they were all instructed to use Power Point and I was very specific over what each slide should include. Rather than giving students a detailed check list, I will provide them with a rubric. Hopefully this will help their voices transcend throughout their projects and lead them to feel ownership over their projects. Below you can view a few examples of the college research projects my students created this past school year. If you have any suggestions on other ways I can tweak this project, please feel free to share!
