Ingredients for a Hero

The past two weeks I have been working with 5 classes of 9th grade English Students. What started out as a simple research project has turned into a fully functional Mobile Learning Unit!

Here is a brief synopsis of what has occurred:
Students were asked if Atticus Fitch (To Kill a Mockingbird) is a Hero

Students then use Google Moderator (via their own devices) to suggest qualities of a hero, and vote on their peers' suggestions:


Students were then asked to watch 6 different speeches and repeated the process of using Google Moderator to suggest what should go in to a good speech.

Emotional Control/Connecting the Audience/Body Language 



(start at 10:00 minutes)

Audience/Staying True to Objective




Inspiration/Connecting with Audience



Students were then asked to submit their choices for who they would like to research using a Google Form.

Students are now in the process of conducting research on who they think is a hero. They are to be sure to provide evidence that their person meets the criteria of a hero as selected by the class.

Finally, students will peer evaluate both the speeches and the heroes their peers chose, using the rubrics generated by the Google Moderator Activities, copied over into a Google Form.

All done....using mobile devices!

Although these gamers are likely to|are inclined to} consume the space bar of their keyboard and the left button of their mouse much sooner than another player on earth. All on line casino websites (like all poker websites, let's face it) want your bank card and your money. They provide free spins or deposit bonus codes to get you on their platform and then have you play as much as possible. You never know how much time and money you need to|you should|you have to} make investments to hit a fortunate spin and have fun one more day of profitable money on slots.
