Gladly Would I Teach

I learned how to become a better teacher by watching, listening, and questioning other teachers for over thirty years. Now that I am retired, it's my turn to pass on my strategies, philosophies, successes, and failures to others who may learn from my experiences.

Yesterday in class we viewed student-created public service announcements. The assignment was wide-open. Students had to choose a topic and create a 30 second to 1 minute video to convince students to do something (or not to do something). The video had to exhibit two types of appeals (ethos, pathos, logos).

I’m always amazed by the creativity of students. Here’s an uplifting PSA that four of my talented students created.

Just for the record, if the video is slow to load, hit pause and wait a few seconds until the shaded red on the progress bar reaches about half way. Then, click play again. (The kids had to teach me this tip. How do they know these things?!)
