Igniting Passion in Students

Help me give my students the opportunity to expand their learning through focusing on their passions! Having access to the photo printer and camera will help them create amazing visuals for their final presentations!

My Students

I love everything about my students! I teach in a very diverse school. I teach impoverished, middle class, and affluent students. Their backgrounds and home lives are incredibly diverse. I build relationships with my students by getting to know who they are, what they like, and what motivates them. I've found that my students are most successful when they feel they are making a difference. By creating activities which allow them to engage in their passions, I get to see the shine. Nothing is more satisfying than witnessing your students' gain confidence as they learn.

My Project

Once students choose a project they are passionate about, they will use these materials to assist them in creating the visual portion of their projects to present to their peers. Last year, the one thing requested most that I wasn't prepared for were printed photos.

I had purchased everything I thought I needed, but after the project ended, I went over what was missing with my students; I've included the items they most requested in this project.

This list includes all of the major items I had not purchased. I would like this project to be an even bigger success this coming year. Thank you in advance for all of your help!
