Since this blog is called “Practical Theory,” I think it is important sometimes to show the powerful, practical work that kids can do. This is a PSA made by SLA 11th graders for their English class. We need to always remember that kids care deeply about their world, and they are capable of sharing a vision of that world when we give them the tools and give them the chance.
What if high school wasn’t just preparation for real life? When we treat high school as real life, kids can do work like this:
Making a change is critical in today’s society. The students did a really good job. The message comes across clear, and someone will make a change in their life because of this.
This is a great idea and something students in other schools can learn from. It seems that the students are speaking in their normal voices rather with voices that actors would use where they tend to speak louder and pronounce the words more clearly. Other than that, this is pretty cool and I will share it tomorrow at http://DrDougGreen.Com
