Interactive Thought Map
For my student teaching work, I want to provide an interactive thought map, wherein we pick apart the question "who are my teachers?" We have been asked this question dozens of times so far, as new teachers. This is going to be a large piece of poster board (8ft x 6 ft) that all my students will fill out (CREW, Drama, ELA) and I will bring to the PEX. At the PEX I will have attendants fill out their own version of this thought map, asking the same question.
My reasoning behind this is to engage the audience as I would engage my classroom. I don't want them to passively sit and take in my experience, but rather for us to have a shared experience of my classroom. The following photo is an image of the Escalante Middle School student's response to "Who are your teachers?"

Student Work
These are Found Poem projects with our book Night. Students were to find poetic lines of text and scramble them into a poem, then reflect that poem on a piece of artwork.
