Students in my ALC option are quickly becoming frantic as they realize they only have 4 "fabrication" classes left! I started off today's class reminding them what the next few weeks has in store, including:
1. Finishing their Challenges for the June 10th Trade Fair *Many gasps were heard around the room at the mention of this date... procrastinators!!
2. June 6th - we will have a special guest coming in! My close friend, Anne Harvey, is a project manager with the Abundant Community Initiative (ACI) and a Community Recreation Coordinator (CRC), both within The City of Edmonton. She has done some amazing work bringing neighborhoods closer together and supporting them in their efforts to build a stronger sense of connection. Anne will be presenting a talk for my ALC students, one that she often uses at conferences and for University classes. We will be using the rubric we created to assess Anne's presentation for content, but also her general presentation skills as an experienced presenter. Exciting stuff!!
*We will create the rubric in class on May 25th
3. Challenge Trade Fair - June 10th - staff, and students will be coming by to see the completed Challenges in all their glory! Blocks 6/7 in the library ;)
Here are some snapshots of the work taking place in class today:
