Space project is over!!

So, all the grade 9s in the school presented their videos, animations, skits, PowerPoint presentations and various other media projects to the classes today. We mixed all the groups from various classes so students could see the work from students they don't see in their day-to-day classes. The presentations were definitely strong on the integration of the curricular content and many showed a huge amount of effort on the editing and production of their presentations. We gave a feedback sheet to the students today and certainly an overwhelming majority liked the project and felt that they learned a lot of material. They also felt that presenting the projects to each other was a good way of hearing the information many times over and they felt that this helped them remember the material. When I tabulate all the feedback, I will put up the statistics on this blog. I am also giving a test next week and I am interested to see how much of this information is retained and what they are able to recall and apply now that the project is over.
