English

__Project option: Intended for: “English” (or ‘other’) classroom... (Kim Watchorn with help from Ben W.)__ Teacher Awareness: If they (adolescents) “can’t” naturally reflect, maybe they can start developing some of those skills. Because they may not be able to do it intuitively. Maybe build reflection from seeing that modeled by others’ (adults, etc.). Purpose: How to develop your passion (while practicing digital citizenship, respectful dialogue, mental maneuvering, whatever you may need to employ...)

Concept: Consider an element, characteristic, trait, feeling, etc. that drives who you are and what you are interested in and maybe why you value it. Start “talking” about it. Have a conversation with others who share that passion. Who can mentor you? Who can share with you? Who ELSE has that passion? ...someone your age, older, whomever...

WHERE can you find these others? JUST talk to them (face-to-face)? Maybe...Record documentary thinking? Find people elsewhere? Oh, online?! Maybe.

How might you hold your thinking as you learn more about this and continue to investigate your passion? What do you need to remember? What do you want to say about it? How do you want to say it?

Start asking questions...of yourself, of others, and ask those questions openly. Put your ideas “out there,” and make this real for you by making it REAL. Don’t limit yourself to the campus or working and thinking within the school walls.
