My academic students finished reading Mississippi Trial, 1955 and my pre-AP students finished their book clubs. Each of these books was related to slavery and/or the Civil Rights Movement.
Students responded to blogs and led discussions on our class Ning and in the Ning book club groups.
Throughout our class discussions and the book club group discussions, students learned from the novels and from each other. Because the students seemed to have a growing fascination with this period of history, each group chose a topic that they wanted to research. After researching on the internet, students created Animoto videos to present their information to the rest of the class.
I was so proud to see my students going above and beyond my expectations. The students were so thrilled to create videos, and they went out of their way to learn new things.

Social Networking Safety
Yes, I know this video is pretty lame, but my students actually had a good discussion about social networking safety. Just wanted to share.
