Blog Post 12

For this blog assignment, Dr. Strange gave his students the opportunity to write their own blog posts. This assignment is simple and deep. It requires thought! The directions are as follow: Plan a non-traditional project for your future students. Something that is not necessarily a learning unit, but could be beneficially in other ways. Visit websites like Teachers pay teachers for ideas, but be orignal.

Time Capsule

Have each student's family write a letter to them for their graduation day. For younger students, have the family write in cursive so they will not be able read it. Have your student write a letter to themselves for what they would want to tell themselves on their graduation day. Put all the letters in a shoebox and have the students design the outside. Wrap the shoeboxes and send them home for the parents to store till graduation. These letters can be a powerful thing to students one day. Especially, if a family member passes away before the student graduates.

  1. Hey!I think this is a great idea. I wish one of my teachers would have done an activity like this at my school. I might try to do something like this with my students in the future. Thanks for the idea!
