For the past 3-4 weeks, 8th grade has been working hard on our end of the year research project the "Bucket List"!!
Students completed mini lessons on a review of MLA Formatting, Works Cited, Research Skills/Note Taking, etc! As we learned/reviewed these necessary skills, we then completed portions of the project on class.
These were the parts of the project: Bucket List, "how-to" (chose one item to research and learn how to accomplish it), Creative component, and works cited!
It was very structured, but Trust me... It was a lot of hard work!
My students' effort and creativity really impressed me! In the pictures below, you will see how each of these students have goals and dreams they want to accomplish. I hope they do. You only get to live once- as I always say!
Take a look!!
After grading, students were required to present one part of their project to the class!
When everyone was done presenting, students recieved their own buckets to take home! I also included a little inspirational letter!
Needless to say, we had fun sharing dreams and snapping pictures!
