After the long Columbus Day weekend, students at East Side Community High School returned to my New Journalism classes to begin this week's blog post. They started by freewriting in about a variety of interesting topics. I just asked them to talk about what they were doing.
A few students from my New Journalism class at East Side Community High School in New York City talk about their blogs and read blog posts while connected with a couple of students from Lee Baber's class in Virginia. Lee webcasts live for us every Friday morning over through WorldBridges. And these conversations are available as a podcast. Look for Spacecast on iTunes.
Each Friday at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Lee Barber and her 8th graders from the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia include my students in live webcast. This is only or third time doing this, and there are a few kinks to work out, but notice the engagements of these boys!
I want to show that running in Manhattan can be an experience in nature! I took 81 photographs while running 10 miles in upper Manhattan.The background music is a Medieval dance, "Chommeiamento di Gioia (Istanpita)," performed by Dufay Collective, brought to us by Magnatune.com.
Run with me as from Upper-Manhattan into Riverdale in the Bronx, and listen as I "go on" about a few different curriculum queries that have been bouncing around in my head. What I think underlies all fo the examples that a mention here is the notion that writing and multimedia production should be taught as communication and not as a technical skill.
We are in the last 5 or 6 weeks of the semester, and I'm having a great time with most of my 10th - 12th graders. A couple of stories that stand out: Cailin's abilitiy to see connections between a journal-entry-like blog post and an essay she is writing for English class... Nichole's amazing blog by now... John's podcasting habits... and more!
Several snapshots of my New Journalism classes on October 5, 2006. I'm finally getting to the point where students can (even though sometimes they choose not to) come to their computers and get to work. I can act as a coach, teaching them the skills they need to be bloggers.
The semester is winding down. Students are focused on final projects in their core courses, and preparing for state examinations. Blogging is feels harder and harder to care about. Still these young people seem to have enough sense of personal commitment to YouthVoices.net and their personal blog to put forward some effort.
