Enhancements

Children’s Literature

I was able to attend the honors convention in New Orleans with my partner to present our research for this enhancement surrounding banned books.

 

The Sociology of Eduction

I worked in a group to interview parents, teachers, and administrators surrounding the question “What makes a good teacher?”. All of this information was compiled in an essay.

Theater in the Classroom

I partnered with a school and filmed virtual science lessons for them that integrated theater and the arts.

Middle School Methods

I independently researched strategies and the effectiveness of both Content Area and Disciplinary Literacy in the middle school classroom and presented my findings in a taped presentation through screen-recording.
