I really like this topic because we can share our ideas and what are we believe in to show others who can relate with us. Writing is something that we can share our emotions.<br />10th grade student.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11076670885363496980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16660456.post-48132725744043099852010-09-20T11:50:23.166-06:002010-09-20T11:50:23.166-06:00I think the "This I Believe" essay is th...I think the "This I Believe" essay is the way I can learn something about the personal beliefs.

We're in our third year of having all seniors write a This I Believe essay as the culminating piece to their English experience at our school. I'll talk with teachers in my department about the possibility of linking in with your kids. <br />Last year was the first time we posted podcasts of those essays that students rated as the best.

I also teach gr.10 English and gr.11 Philosophy for Teens, a class very close to my heart. I work in a private school in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and I'm sure that any of my three classes would love to participate in "This I believe". They recently have begun blogging and podcasting is my next goal. Would you like to hear Canadian voices?<br />Daryl Bambic www.dabambic.comdabambichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849126021240149664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16660456.post-69702805594910667182009-10-19T15:24:32.769-06:002009-10-19T15:24:32.769-06:00This is a wonderful opportunity to engage students...This is a wonderful opportunity to engage students not only in writing for a purpose, writing for an authentic audience, but also to engage in collaboration. What a great way to demonstrate the power of writing, the power of words. It is also timely, since tomorrow is the first <a href="http://www.ncte.org/dayonwriting" rel="nofollow">National Day on Writing!</a> <br /><br />I've been doing the "This I Believe" essay with my 10th grade students for the past three years. It is one of the most <a href="http://etceteraward.blogspot.com/2007/10/crying-in-class.html" rel="nofollow">powerful projects</a> we complete. This year, I recorded and live streamed their speeches so parents could watch and comment. The students and I were surprised by the all the positive feedback we received. I look forward to joining this project with current 10th grade students.Jennifer Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01459363843692965338noreply@blogger.com
