Supply and Demand Ms. Alana Rivera’s ERWC class had a Conspiracy Theory project that turned out to be very engaging. She had her students research, provide a works cited page, and use oral testimony about conspiracies. Jessica Estrada, Miguel Perez and Ms. Williams dealt with Black Dahlia, Pokemon and Illuminati as their research. The students incorporated technology with their presentations. They were able to pick their project, which helped motivate them to conduct research appropriate for their presentation. [see Rivera, p. 3]
Modern Day Shakespeare Hark ye! Want to be like Macbeth? Ms. Sarah Paulis did a masterful job of getting her students to learn Macbeth, and have fun doing it. They studied Shakespeare’s work on ambition and guilt, and then converted it into a modern day skit. Methinks that the students had fun learning about Macbeth, while applying modern day colloquialism and situations. The skits were a pleasure to watch. The students were into their roles having been properly prepared by Ms. Paulis. [see Paulis, p. 3] O House Gazette
