Portfolio day! Learning Journeys! Exhibition Unit! Combined!
This was what the English fair turned out to be. And it was AWESOME! For each major project in the semester, we worked to make a process presentation. Was it a documentary? Was it a presentation? Was it a bulletin board? The kids decided their mode of presentation and got to work documenting the learning, the steps, and the work behind the project. The students then chose their favorite project to present at the English fair in the end of March.
The community of parents, teachers, and friends were invited to the middle school to participate in this event. Over 350 people came to take part in the learning. It was sheer madness, sheer inspiration, and sheer excitement around every corner. The kids were able to reflect on and showcase their best work, and the community ate it up!
Our awesome colleague and docu-wizard Doğukan compiled an incredible video showcasing the collective learning of the students. Enjoy!
