We all need our motivators. And at the end of the year, my motivation is going to be "How do I get out of here without spending all my time grading stuff?" So launch cycle, here I come!!
My kids are reading The Giver which is supposed to be a utopia, but it's not really. I mean *SPOILER* they kill people when they get too old or if they break rules or are a baby who won't sleep or grow fast enough... Um.. MESSED UP! But that is also what makes the novel so good!
Anyway, so after the emotional rollercoster that is this book... We will take a look at world issues and each group is going to try to tackle a world issue they want to help solve. How can you create awareness? How can you do something small to help? What steps can you take? How is social media going to help? AKA all the social media!!
Like I said in our Google Hangout, now is the time to try this stuff because if it fails... well... I say good bye to the kids and we try again another time! :)
So... I better get a certain someone in my classroom at the end of the year to make sure this thing doesn't flop!!! *cough* Janelle *cough* Clear your schedule!!!
