A nice topic, especially for students with some nice community ideas, but the presentation needs to have some more visual impact. With some more examples and better visual design, this could be stronger.
I agree with Adam. Maybe one too many cartoons? But I can stand fully behind the topic. I preferred this to all the others. It was non-partisan, but still encouraged it's readers to act. I do not consider patriotism non-partisan.
I think it's a great idea to get students involved in their government. You have a lot of great ideas in your presentation, but I agree that it could be more visually appealing. I think the presentation would be stronger with some more examples and an understanding of how they're going to all come together in the end.
• Nice “Red, White and Blue” theme.
• I think the Timeliner program is a good technology resource that is interactive and helps to organize the students’ process and results.
• The student vote website is a very real possibility. My school actually had a student vote for the Presidental Election through our district website.
• The political cartoons are nice visually. Maybe you can suggest a collaborative project with the Art Department to have the students create their own political cartoons.
I think that the topic is an important one. Students should feel that regardless of age they have a say or can make a difference in government. I also like the idea of using timeliner to track student progress. However, I agree with the previous comments that the actual presentation could have been more visually appealing. The cartoons would have been more effective if you described how you would use them in the classroom or made a comment about them. Overall, good work.
I like the ideas of all of these presentations, including this one. I would have liked to see a little more detail and not to be a party pooper, but I regret to say the students may be disappointed with the result of this project if all they get in return is a standard letter from a politician's secretary.
Wow! A great topic! As a high school teacher, I appreciate the need to educate students about their social responsibility and the importance of having their voices heard. One suggestion I might add would be to contact a local politician and set up a live interview via Marratech or Skype. In this way, students might become more actively engaged. They would have the opportunity to voice their opinions and ideas. In this way, their voices would definitely be heard!
As a US History teacher, I love the idea of students getting involved in government and understanding how it works. Timeliner is a great tool to use to demonstrate your knowledge of the occurence of events. A better description of what students will be doing with the cartoons would be helpful.
This is a good topic. I would agree with other comments that the visual presentation needs improvement.
I thought that this project used resources that the students would be interested in. I was glad to see that the students have a lot of interactions with the use of technology. It created a classroom that is student centered and allowed for self-discovery. I always find topics dealing with our government are interesting for the children because many of them are influenced greatly by the ideas of their parents.
Very good topic to discuss in such a time when every vote in government make a hugh difference. Could use videos so that you could bring more attention to the kids and how serious it is to be apart of government.
I like this topic and I agree that it's a great idea to have students vote. In some of the cartoons it expressed how people feel like their vote will not count (the chance of their vote counting is as good as the chance of them winning on a slot machine). My questions is what will we do to convince students that even though they are one person, they still matter and their vote still counts?
The political cartoons are great . Maybe some questions underneath the political cartoon would be great to initiate cognitive thought. I feel that this presentation was put together well and great for students to get involved.
