This is where we connect with the text. Each and every ORAA student has the ability to change the world through their talents, skills, and determination.
Over the break (some students have already started their project as this has been discussed since Thanksgiving break), students are asked to make a change in their community in a way that feels great to them. Examples include:
- volunteering for a shelter or orphanage
- serving meals to the homeless
- doing a beach cleanup
- making a water-saving plan for their family of five at home
It is by taking these first thoughtful steps that we really can change the world.
The studio day assignment for January 5 is to document this action. Students can choose a powerpoint, poster, photo collage, a storybook, whichever way they choose. Grading will not only be based on the quality of the project and documentation in words and pictures, but also the ability to inspire friends to get out and do the same.
I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday break. I am so proud of the hard work and progress everyone has made this year. I can't wait to see the ways people have chosen to change the world over the next two weeks!
