| If Hornets Could Talk... |
5 to 5 |
(0 stars, 2 ratings) As a teacher, I find myself constantly challenged to integrate the state and parish standards, grade level expectations, ILEAP test preparation, and multi-disciplinary lessons, at the same time keeping my students engaged, excited, and learning. At times I find the students either bored or discouraged with basic assignments, in particular reading, writing, and researching. I find that no matter how important the components being taught, without a “catch” or “hook,” the students view the assignments as redundant and see no connection with real life. I’ve found a “hook!” |
| If I Were 100 Years Old... |
K to 3 |
(0 stars, 2 ratings) For the 100th day of school, my first graders are asked to write about what they would and would not be able to do if they were 100 years old. To update this lesson, I would have them dress up as if they were 100 years old and record their thinking in a flip video. |

| Sharing Your Voice |
9 to 12 |
(0 stars, 1 ratings) The purpose is to provide students an opportunity to raise awareness and explore topics such as inequity, social issues, and personal struggles. They will be exploring and sharing their work through the art form of photography and digitally altering photos. Sharing about topics such as these can help with using social media to raise awareness about social issues, personal struggles and inequity. |
| Through Our Eyes |
9 to 9 |
(0 stars, 1 ratings) “The House on Mango Street” by Sandra Cisneros is a novel that addresses many important themes, but none more important than poverty. But simply talking about a world problem does not teach my students as much as a hands-on problem solving project would! Upon completing the novel, my students will tackle the final project “Through Our Eyes.” |
| Using technology to engage students in science through inquiry research |
11 to 12 |
(0 stars, 1 ratings) My students love to talk about the latest YouTube video so why not engage them through video based research projects?

| Written in Bones |
6 to 8 |
(0 stars, 2 ratings) Students will read literary and informational texts about the stories of our past to understand how different texts offer unique historical perspectives and how authors sometimes alter details of history to serve a purpose. Students will express their understanding by corroborating details of the past, deciphering an author’s purpose, and writing their own fictionalized version of a historical account.
