Just before break, sophomore English classes participated in KQED’s Media Challenge: “Rethink School with MindShift”. The project required students to write an argumentative commentary for a two-minute video or oral presentation on the topic of how we could reimagine school.

The most popular topics in my classes were: uniforms, school start times, homework load, and self-paced math.

While students were encouraged to publish their videos to the KQED Youth Media Showcase, so far I’ve only had one student submit her video. And it’s fantastic. I’m so proud of Annabelle Chung for representing Carondelet on this national platform.
