My Project

A plethora of students carry financial, emotional, and mental trauma after the COVID-19 pandemic. Through these items, this class will be able to provide a space that is welcoming and conducive to learning. The latest technology and modern classroom decor will create an environment where students will feel that they are part of a privileged school. These items will also be used in upcoming projects that are rigorous and community-based. One of those projects is our Shark Tank. Students must reenact the Shark Tank TV show by creating a product that is practical for our everyday lives in our community, Kohala. The requested items will help replicate the show. For example, the sound system will be used when students present their final project in the school cafeteria in front of multiple grades, school staff, and community members who own businesses. Their presentation must include a commercial, and a slide show presentation. Many of the presentations require loud sound projection, so the sound system will make good use of this part of our project.

Another essential item will be the extension cords.

Shark Tank requires heavy computer usage. They will be working on slides, videos, and music videos, and researching their invention. Because of the amount of computer usage, many students will require outlets to charge their computers. However, my classroom does not supply an ample amount of outlets for all the students in my class, thus surge plugs will help students have computers that are ready and able throughout the class. Lastly, some requested items are gifts for the winners of the competition. Journals and stickers are great motivators to get students riled up to do quality work.

Mahalo for caring about us.

Mr. Kekaiola Coakley Kohala Middle School Grades 6-8
