My students (120 in total) are inner city, only 6% Caucasian, 70% free and reduced lunch, and have not experienced the same successes that many students typically enjoy. They come from very challenging backgrounds and diverse cultures but have gelled into a group that is starting to understand that it is themselves who are in control of their future. While their test scores are low and most notably their reading and writing scores are far below average, they are not short on dreams or the energy to express themselves. They are all sophomores at a comprehensive high school and they are in my multimedia productions class which is linked to their world history and language arts class. All of their work is geared toward understanding some of society's vexing issues and forming solutions and plans of action to make their world a better place. Some projects include recording living histories of inspiring people in their lives and making podcasts documenting societal issues.
