Tomorrow is the last day of the third advisory and there are some critical things I will like to put in place as the 4th advisory approaches. This advisory, my students completed a project on leadership by composing a newspaper article of an interview they conducted with someone in their community that they thought met their criteria of leadership. Many of my students interviewed their mothers, grandmothers, while others interviewed teachers, coaches, and administrators. Some branched out and interviewed other people in their community such as police officers and youth center coordinators. The astonishing fact is that none of my students interviewed a male figure in their family, since many of them lack a positive paternal relationship in their lives.
Overall, I enjoyed teaching the students about "leadership" and they enjoyed learning and composing a newspaper article about a word which has such a significant meaning to their lives. Since many of the students did an outstanding job on the project, I would like to publish some of the best interviews I received, thereby helping my students reach the 4th stage as mentioned in the teaching and learning to the 4th power article. The only problem is that the actual publication of my students work can take a long time, especially because this is the time when all of them are taking standardized tests. Does anyone have any suggestions about other publication outlets I can utilize to help publicize student work?
