Memorializing Project Based Work

Help me give my students a way to preserve their projects for Parent Teacher Conferences and work samples to be memorialized for years to come. Laminators and laminating pouches will be very helpful.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students are in a Title 1 school in District 7. They are creative and very innovative. They are looking for ways to preserve their projects for years to come.

The students will benefit from this project because we are promoting project based learning while meeting the speaking and listening standards during student-led Parent Teacher Conferences.

The goal for the project is to create pieces that can memorialized in such a way that the pieces can be used for years to come and can be shared across the school specifically during Parent Conferences and student- led building walkthroughs.

When students are given the opportunity to preserve their projects, from the onset of their integrated research to the end of the projects; their sample written work, art pieces and experiments can be encapsulated as memorabilia. They will be able to not only present their work to parents but they will also be able to keep their work in a portfolio for High school interviews and refer to their memorialized pieces with or without a PowerPoint presentation.

Lastly, student work samples that are laminated can be used as exemplars to teach for many years in the future.
