The Humanitarian Of The Year Award

My students need 10 frames and 12 seals to present to recipients of the humanitarian award which is part of our performance task for our unit on Reaching Out.

I teach 8th grade reading and language. Our school is over half free or reduced lunches in a small rural area.

Help us make this year's celebration better then ever!! Each year we have to complete a project that is community-based. This year we are choosing an humanitarian of the year. The students have to decide who they would like to nominate and convince their fellow classmates to vote for their nominee. They have to do research to find evidence to do this. Afterwards, they will organize their information and present it to the class in the form of a powerpoint, brochure, movie, or other technological means. The class will then vote on the best presentation. The winner will then invite their nominee to come to the class and present them with the award.

We need your help with the awards that we will present to our winners. The students will make the certificates, which I think is more personal, but I would like the frames and seals to make it more official.

This is where you can make the children proud of their accomplishments. In the past we have used construction paper because we didn't have the funds to purchase fancy frames and seals. I think this added touch will make this project more real life to the students.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
