Throughout the 2010-2011 school year, my students and I questioned what kind of future we want. Through our examination of this question, my students realized that we need to be the change we want to see in the world. "The Change Project" was born. Students determined how they would be the change and then developed goals as well as action steps. They then created short videos that outline their Change Projects. You can find all the videos on a website my student M.A. created at http://anserchangeproject.weebly.com/index.html. My student K.M.'s project was highlighted on the local news when she was named a "Seven's Hero." Here is her interview.

We situated our exploration in a study of Africa. Students began the year by each researching one African country. You can check out their work on this wiki page. Students showcased their learning by creating symbolic masks and accompanying poetry. You can see their work here.

In September of 2010 I took my students on a three-day adventure in McCall, Idaho. We canoed, hiked, participated in a ropes course, and had a lot of fun. Here's a photo montage I created using Animoto.

During the 2009-2010 academic year, my students and I explored the concept of human rights. The students wanted to conclude the year by sharing their ideas with the community and encouraging others to promote and protect human rights for all people. Here's an overview of their project: The Youth for Human Rights Celebration.
