Before Graduation, students wrote an end of the year reflection on their time at Washington and throughout their years in the district. Afterwards, a small committee reviewed these speeches and choose one to be the speaker at the 8th Graduation. Below are a few superior speeches that were written! Excellent job!

Until Graduation, Ritchie P8th graders had a blast learning about different ways advertisers persuade audiences to buy products and use certain companies. Students watched a variety of different commercials, analyzed them for Ethos, Pathos, and Logos as well as Persuasion Techniques. Afterwards, students created their own commercials to try to persuade audiences to buy their product or use their company! Can you find the techniques in these superior commercials? Some files were unable to load, but all the students did an excellent job with this creative multi-media project! Many used Apps to do special effects and editing! Very Proud!
Until Next Time, Ritchie For the past few weeks, 7th grade have been working on their SUMMER Multi-Genre writing projects! Multi-genre writing? What's that? Instead of a long research paper, the multi-genre project, lets students create a collection of shorter pieces centered on a important and well researched topic. It offers an opportunity to allow students to write from all three modes of writing (informative, argument, and creative writing). My students are so used to the traditional "essay" format it took a while to let them explore new avenues of how to display the information they were presenting! Multi-Genre writing was a great way to enhance student engagement by allowing more choice and creativity in their products. My goal for the end of the year was to get students to LIKE writing again— so many times they were forced to complete district mandated essays that were above grade level or lacked interest! For sake of time, my students completed informative & research topics. We also completed Narratives! Normally, I would incorporate argumentative, but I didn't want my kiddos to feel "rushed"! Below are some examples of our SUMMER Multi-Genre Writing (research & informative)! Students had a huge menu to choose from! Or they could have proposed a topic to me of their choice! All of these projects are related to summer! :) Oh, wait! There's more! :) Some students went "tech" and decided to display their information with PowerPoint, Excel, Publisher or Google Slides! Below are file links to some more excellent work!
We even had a special guest, Mr. Mueller, come and present about Lake Thunderbird! Great Idea Anna!
