"content": "\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Far too many of our secondary students struggle with depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety and isolation. In my eight years of teaching high school English, I have found more of my time on campus invested in the mental and social health of my students. At Dublin High School (DHS) in Dublin, California, the students have decided it is time to address the elephant in the room. Junior Matthew Kang, along with a small group of students on the DHS campus, started the Elephant in the Room Project because he ultimately “envision[s] a positive community of open-mindedness at Dublin High where all students can feel comfortable sharing their stories and feel a sense of unity in the common emotions we experience as high school students.” Intrigued by the movement on our campus, I reached out to Kang and attended the \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1hLPZ8I3Xs_irFYP7pkwZ2FW4gX21IP2p4WVXzJ9RAr8/edit#slide=id.p\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">first informal gathering\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> which hosted over 120 students and staff members.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Q: \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">What was your inspiration for this movement? How did it materialize?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">A: My motivation to act came last summer when a former DHS student took his own life. He was a teammate of mine on the track team who I had known since middle school, first as competitors and later as a friends. His suicide shook me and his friends considerably. No one thought that anything was troubling him, and we could only question if things could have been different if we were there for him. It was then I wondered if he had people around him that he could talk to or could relate to. This thought began to materialize into Elephant in the Room, organized gatherings where students have a place where they could hear the voices of their peers publicly and anonymously. Elephant in the Room is an opportunity for students to share their personal stories, experiences and views freely in a safe environment. Through listening to each other, I hope students who feel isolated can relate to their peers. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The goal of the movement is simple, but\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, improving and supporting teenage mental and social health is a huge undertaking. To aid in the growth of the project, Kang and the Elephant in the Room team created stickers and joined a hashtag campaign \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/youcantalktome\">#YouCanTalkToMe\u003c/a> to raise awareness and reach out to those needing support. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Q: Why did you think that the best tool for your project was social media and the hashtag #YouCanTalkToMe? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">A: One thing with DHS students, or maybe all high school students, is that we always have our hands on a phone. You won’t see anyone in high school without a phone and some form of social media. We are living in the age of social media; it’s just how we communicate. So for our project, this was the most effective way to get our message across. It was through social media we were able to get such a great turnout in our inaugural Elephant in the Room gathering. Two days of posting is all it took to get the word out. It truly is a powerful tool.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-531904 aligncenter\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/eitr3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"404\" height=\"707\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/eitr3.jpeg 1124w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/eitr3-160x280.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/eitr3-800x1399.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/eitr3-768x1343.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/eitr3-1020x1784.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/eitr3-686x1200.jpeg 686w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Q: Were you inspired by any other social media awareness campaigns or specific hashtags? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">A: Absolutely. Social media has a way of getting people’s attention, and you see the influence it has everyday. One example that comes to mind is the popular hashtag \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/metoo\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">#MeToo\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in 2017. The tweet went viral with 19 million retweets and promoted a global movement of men and women sharing their stories of sexual abuse and harassment. An older viral hashtag that I shared was the \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/alsicebucketchallenge?lang=en\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">#ALSIceBucketChallenge\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. It’s amazing how a simple hashtag can have such profound effects. Although we do not expect to go as viral as these iconic hashtags, we hope to use the social media hashtag to inspire other DHS Students, and even other high schoolers, to join our cause: to spread open-mindedness in schools, to share our stories and to ultimately form a more cohesive, positive community where our peers won’t feel as alone in their personal struggles. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Elephant in the Room is truly a youth movement. While teachers and counselors have been integral to support the movement by coordinating, advertising and supervising get-togethers as the group formalizes their club charter on campus, it is the students who have developed the concept and are moving this project forward. DHS is developing a Wellness Center on campus, and when the center opens next school year, Elephant in the Room will make this space feel more student-owned. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Q: In what ways does the movement elevate youth voice?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">A: There are many times where youth voice is dismissed and discouraged and I hope that this movement is able to amplify our voice. What I mean is that our social campaign addresses youth problems. It calls for students to speak up about issues that are unique to us rather than having adults dictate and define what they are. I hope that by creating this kind of forum, where discussion about difficult subjects and feelings is actually encouraged, we may send a message to all youth that your voice matters and that no one should be able to tell you otherwise. Everyone should be able to hear your voice. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">DHS is focusing on social emotional support on campus to create a more positive and inviting environment for students. The addition of the Wellness Center is taking steps toward that goal, but the students wanting a more positive space and culture on campus is ultimately what will bring change to the campus.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Q: What is your ultimate goal for the movement?

In my eight years of teaching high school English, I have found more of my time on campus invested in the mental and social health of my students. At Dublin High School (DHS) in Dublin, California, the students have decided it is time to address the elephant in the room. Junior Matthew Kang, along with a small group of students on the DHS campus, started the Elephant in the Room Project because he ultimately “envision[s] a positive community of open-mindedness at Dublin High where all students can feel comfortable sharing their stories and feel a sense of unity in the common emotions we experience as high school students.” Intrigued by the movement on our campus, I reached out to Kang and attended the \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1hLPZ8I3Xs_irFYP7pkwZ2FW4gX21IP2p4WVXzJ9RAr8/edit#slide=id.p\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">first informal gathering\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> which hosted over 120 students and staff members.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Q: \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">What was your inspiration for this movement? How did it materialize?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">A: My motivation to act came last summer when a former DHS student took his own life. He was a teammate of mine on the track team who I had known since middle school, first as competitors and later as a friends. His suicide shook me and his friends considerably. No one thought that anything was troubling him, and we could only question if things could have been different if we were there for him. It was then I wondered if he had people around him that he could talk to or could relate to. This thought began to materialize into Elephant in the Room, organized gatherings where students have a place where they could hear the voices of their peers publicly and anonymously. Elephant in the Room is an opportunity for students to share their personal stories, experiences and views freely in a safe environment. Through listening to each other, I hope students who feel isolated can relate to their peers. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The goal of the movement is simple, but\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, improving and supporting teenage mental and social health is a huge undertaking. To aid in the growth of the project, Kang and the Elephant in the Room team created stickers and joined a hashtag campaign \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/youcantalktome\">#YouCanTalkToMe\u003c/a> to raise awareness and reach out to those needing support. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Q: Why did you think that the best tool for your project was social media and the hashtag #YouCanTalkToMe? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

You won’t see anyone in high school without a phone and some form of social media. We are living in the age of social media; it’s just how we communicate. So for our project, this was the most effective way to get our message across. It was through social media we were able to get such a great turnout in our inaugural Elephant in the Room gathering. Two days of posting is all it took to get the word out. It truly is a powerful tool.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-531904 aligncenter\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/eitr3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"404\" height=\"707\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/eitr3.jpeg 1124w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/eitr3-160x280.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/eitr3-800x1399.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/eitr3-768x1343.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/eitr3-1020x1784.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/eitr3-686x1200.jpeg 686w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Q: Were you inspired by any other social media awareness campaigns or specific hashtags? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">A: Absolutely. Social media has a way of getting people’s attention, and you see the influence it has everyday. One example that comes to mind is the popular hashtag \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/metoo\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">#MeToo\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in 2017. The tweet went viral with 19 million retweets and promoted a global movement of men and women sharing their stories of sexual abuse and harassment. An older viral hashtag that I shared was the \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/alsicebucketchallenge?lang=en\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">#ALSIceBucketChallenge\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. It’s amazing how a simple hashtag can have such profound effects. Although we do not expect to go as viral as these iconic hashtags, we hope to use the social media hashtag to inspire other DHS Students, and even other high schoolers, to join our cause: to spread open-mindedness in schools, to share our stories and to ultimately form a more cohesive, positive community where our peers won’t feel as alone in their personal struggles. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Elephant in the Room is truly a youth movement. While teachers and counselors have been integral to support the movement by coordinating, advertising and supervising get-togethers as the group formalizes their club charter on campus, it is the students who have developed the concept and are moving this project forward. DHS is developing a Wellness Center on campus, and when the center opens next school year, Elephant in the Room will make this space feel more student-owned. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Q: In what ways does the movement elevate youth voice?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">A: There are many times where youth voice is dismissed and discouraged and I hope that this movement is able to amplify our voice. What I mean is that our social campaign addresses youth problems. It calls for students to speak up about issues that are unique to us rather than having adults dictate and define what they are. I hope that by creating this kind of forum, where discussion about difficult subjects and feelings is actually encouraged, we may send a message to all youth that your voice matters and that no one should be able to tell you otherwise. Everyone should be able to hear your voice. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">DHS is focusing on social emotional support on campus to create a more positive and inviting environment for students. The addition of the Wellness Center is taking steps toward that goal, but the students wanting a more positive space and culture on campus is ultimately what will bring change to the campus.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Q: What is your ultimate goal for the movement? And how will you measure its “success”?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">A: I would love for this to be a consistent venue for students to share their stories with others.

In my previous years of teaching, I have been hesitant to discuss Wikipedia. Students have been drilled to avoid Wikipedia at all costs (while their teacher is looking, at least). But now I believe we are doing our students a disservice by telling them not to use it, and even by ignoring the issue altogether. Understanding Wikipedia is a fundamental internet research skill required for success in college and career readiness in the 21st century. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adults use Wikipedia as a source of information for work, academics and personal research.

I found that it was a great place to start a discussion of credible online sources. My middle school classes were adamant that they shouldn’t use Wikipedia, and I was surprised at the level of resistance. We use GoGuardian at our site to monitor our Chromebooks, so I know students are frequently on Wikipedia–they just change windows when a teacher walks by.

A horrified silence followed—somebody was monitoring them! A Wikipedia moderator was taking down edits because there was too much activity on a single article. I then showed them that they can find that specific moderator and examine their credentials. The editor we were dealing with had extensive experience as a moderator, had earned many digital badges for editing and moderating, and had been active on Wikipedia for years. We also explored the revision history of the article and they were surprised that the edits they made were time stamped and showed their username. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Shellwood\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-531884 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/Shellwood-Editor-Wikipedia-1.png\" width=\"1348\" height=\"620\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/Shellwood-Editor-Wikipedia-1.png 1348w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/Shellwood-Editor-Wikipedia-1-160x74.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/Shellwood-Editor-Wikipedia-1-800x368.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/Shellwood-Editor-Wikipedia-1-768x353.png 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/Shellwood-Editor-Wikipedia-1-1020x469.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/Shellwood-Editor-Wikipedia-1-1200x552.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1348px) 100vw, 1348px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This lesson has broken my silence about Wikipedia in the classroom. Critically evaluating Wikipedia articles and the way the site works is a perfect gateway into discussing internet research. There isn’t a single online source that doesn’t need to be cross-referenced, interrogated and vetted—and Wikipedia is no different. I realized that were levels of online literacy involved in wikis that I hadn’t recognized before, and that we should discuss them in the classroom.

"headTitle": "How to Use Podcasts for Better Narrative Writing | KQED",
"content": "\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When I first taught personal narrative in my freshmen Literature and Writing course last year I planned a traditional unit. I practiced descriptive writing techniques by having them listen to the first five minutes of \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Saving Private Ryan\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> without the screen visible, noting what they expected to see based on the sounds they were hearing. I then showed them the movie again with just the picture and no sound, and had them reflect on whether their expectations were met by the visuals. We then spent time creating a visual paragraph to describe the first five minutes of the movie to a person who had never seen it, taking into account their experience of listening versus viewing. Students struggled with this exercise because it was difficult to include the auditory as well as the visual component into their writing. Descriptive writing, at its very core, asks to incorporate the use of the five senses when appropriate. This exercise took my students, who were very used to only writing about what they could see, out of their comfort zones.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the two weeks I had allotted for the personal narrative unit, I tried my best to teach my students how to reflect on and write about a personal experience in a descriptive way. I wanted them to illustrate to a reader not only the sensory details of the experience, but also a lesson they learned or a moment of personal growth.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the end of the unit, I was faced with the stark reality that I had failed to achieve this goal. My students had difficulty conveying their personal narratives in an immediate way to the reader. Asking my students to incorporate visual and figurative language while telling a personal story was an immense task because often they were writing about an experience they fully did not comprehend themselves because of their young age. Without the aid of reflection, or the ability to communicate the experience to another person, the narratives often lacked the hallmark emotional intensity and reality that are trademark characteristics of the writing. Regardless of my good intentions and the hard work of both my students and myself, the idea of personally connecting to an experience and communicating a broader lesson from that experience proved too complex and difficult for my ninth grade students.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As I approached the narrative writing unit this year, I decided to make changes. With the agreement of my PLC, I moved the unit to the spring and in December went on \u003ca href=\"https://teach.kqed.org/?utm_source=ITC&utm_medium=blog\">KQED Teach\u003c/a> for inspiration as to how I could help my students learn how to communicate a narrative about their own experiences. It did not take me long to discover the KQED Teach \u003ca href=\"https://teach.kqed.org/course/podcasting-with-youth-radio?utm_source=ITC&utm_medium=blog\">course on podcasting\u003c/a>. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://teach.kqed.org/course/podcasting-with-youth-radio?utm_source=ITC&utm_medium=blog\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-531839 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/teach-course.png\" width=\"1321\" height=\"714\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/teach-course.png 1321w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/teach-course-160x86.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/teach-course-800x432.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/teach-course-768x415.png 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/teach-course-1020x551.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/teach-course-1200x649.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1321px) 100vw, 1321px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As I worked through the lessons in the podcasting course, I was struck with inspiration about how to help my students create emotional connection in their narrative writing. I thought about how cool it would be to have my students work in pairs or groups of three to create a podcast on a personal experience they all had in common. Instead of adding an auditory component to their writing through exercises like watching \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Saving Private Ryan\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, I could have my students use their own voice to describe their personal experiences to serve as inspiration for their future narrative writing assignments. The podcasts would give my students a safe space to use their voices to express, reflect and learn from not only their experiences, but also from the experiences of their classmates. My hope was that the creation of the podcast would then allow each individual student to connect to their own personal narrative in a more immediate and emotional way that would translate into their writing. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a teacher, I was intrigued by the format of podcasting because I believed that it would be an excellent media to help students use their voice in a low stress arena that would appeal to their interests. For the final in my class, students are required to give a 3-5 minute individual speech in front of the class which is often a terrifying prospect for a freshman. I find that the only way to dissipate the fear of speaking is through practice and podcasting seemed like an excellent way to offer my students a way to practice speaking about a topic that interests them for the final. In addition, I really was intrigued to have my students complete their work using a digital portfolio. Often, as a teacher, I ask my students only for the final product but never ask them to think about the steps that are needed to make the final product. This is the thought process which led to the \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/14u-SVRz8ZnuIGywgQjP-IhSu3XniVBYbQgl7xZdW-QU/edit?usp=sharing\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Podcasting/Narrative Writing Assignment.\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://sites.google.com/student.fuhsd.org/digital-portfolio-podcast\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-531841 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/website2.png\" width=\"1254\" height=\"735\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/website2.png 1254w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/website2-160x94.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/website2-800x469.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/website2-768x450.png 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/website2-1020x598.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/website2-1200x703.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1254px) 100vw, 1254px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last year, my students struggled to write personal narratives because it was a singular experience. They worked alone to write their narratives and peer edited narratives that were vastly different from their own. This year, my students created podcasts on common experiences such as \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://sites.google.com/student.fuhsd.org/growingthroughfailures/home?authuser=1\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">failure,\u003c/span>\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://sites.google.com/student.fuhsd.org/andyxumaxv-podcastnarrative/home\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">dreams\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://sites.google.com/student.fuhsd.org/progressionofgoalsthroughtime-/home\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">school/career challenges\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://sites.google.com/a/student.fuhsd.org/podcasting/home\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">student stress\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://sites.google.com/student.fuhsd.org/digital-portfolio-podcast\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> illness\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">.

I practiced descriptive writing techniques by having them listen to the first five minutes of \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Saving Private Ryan\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> without the screen visible, noting what they expected to see based on the sounds they were hearing. I then showed them the movie again with just the picture and no sound, and had them reflect on whether their expectations were met by the visuals. We then spent time creating a visual paragraph to describe the first five minutes of the movie to a person who had never seen it, taking into account their experience of listening versus viewing. Students struggled with this exercise because it was difficult to include the auditory as well as the visual component into their writing. Descriptive writing, at its very core, asks to incorporate the use of the five senses when appropriate. This exercise took my students, who were very used to only writing about what they could see, out of their comfort zones.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the two weeks I had allotted for the personal narrative unit, I tried my best to teach my students how to reflect on and write about a personal experience in a descriptive way. I wanted them to illustrate to a reader not only the sensory details of the experience, but also a lesson they learned or a moment of personal growth.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the end of the unit, I was faced with the stark reality that I had failed to achieve this goal. My students had difficulty conveying their personal narratives in an immediate way to the reader. Asking my students to incorporate visual and figurative language while telling a personal story was an immense task because often they were writing about an experience they fully did not comprehend themselves because of their young age. Without the aid of reflection, or the ability to communicate the experience to another person, the narratives often lacked the hallmark emotional intensity and reality that are trademark characteristics of the writing. Regardless of my good intentions and the hard work of both my students and myself, the idea of personally connecting to an experience and communicating a broader lesson from that experience proved too complex and difficult for my ninth grade students.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As I approached the narrative writing unit this year, I decided to make changes. With the agreement of my PLC, I moved the unit to the spring and in December went on \u003ca href=\"https://teach.kqed.org/?utm_source=ITC&utm_medium=blog\">KQED Teach\u003c/a> for inspiration as to how I could help my students learn how to communicate a narrative about their own experiences.

I thought about how cool it would be to have my students work in pairs or groups of three to create a podcast on a personal experience they all had in common. Instead of adding an auditory component to their writing through exercises like watching \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Saving Private Ryan\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, I could have my students use their own voice to describe their personal experiences to serve as inspiration for their future narrative writing assignments. The podcasts would give my students a safe space to use their voices to express, reflect and learn from not only their experiences, but also from the experiences of their classmates. My hope was that the creation of the podcast would then allow each individual student to connect to their own personal narrative in a more immediate and emotional way that would translate into their writing. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a teacher, I was intrigued by the format of podcasting because I believed that it would be an excellent media to help students use their voice in a low stress arena that would appeal to their interests. For the final in my class, students are required to give a 3-5 minute individual speech in front of the class which is often a terrifying prospect for a freshman. I find that the only way to dissipate the fear of speaking is through practice and podcasting seemed like an excellent way to offer my students a way to practice speaking about a topic that interests them for the final. In addition, I really was intrigued to have my students complete their work using a digital portfolio. Often, as a teacher, I ask my students only for the final product but never ask them to think about the steps that are needed to make the final product. This is the thought process which led to the \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/14u-SVRz8ZnuIGywgQjP-IhSu3XniVBYbQgl7xZdW-QU/edit?usp=sharing\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Podcasting/Narrative Writing Assignment.\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://sites.google.com/student.fuhsd.org/digital-portfolio-podcast\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-531841 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/website2.png\" width=\"1254\" height=\"735\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/website2.png 1254w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/website2-160x94.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/website2-800x469.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/website2-768x450.png 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/website2-1020x598.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/website2-1200x703.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1254px) 100vw, 1254px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last year, my students struggled to write personal narratives because it was a singular experience.

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">During my senior year of college at UC Davis, I took an \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://che.engineering.ucdavis.edu/undergraduate/ecm1/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">introduction to chemical engineering class\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that taught its basic concepts through the medium of \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">coffee\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. I was intrigued by how the class took something so many college students were familiar with, coffee, and utilized it to teach a concept as complex as chemical engineering. However, over the course of the class, we came to learn that the basic concepts of chemical engineering were not that hard to grasp at all—at least, not when you have coffee to help you learn them!\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a high school teacher, I often look for models and investigations that can make chemistry more relatable to students. As I reviewed the NGSS standards and \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KAB6qy6brPZWkjErilxb2AwzSSMJPKmxQO3ORbVJx_c/edit\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">HS PS 1-5\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (“Apply scientific principles and evidence to provide an explanation about the effects of changing the temperature or concentration of the reacting particles on the rate at which a reaction occurs”)\u003c/span>\u003cb>, \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">the coffee lab from college came to mind. Why not combine chemistry and coffee again, but this time as a teacher instead of a student?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-531790\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190311_125810.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190311_125810.jpg 4032w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190311_125810-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190311_125810-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190311_125810-768x576.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190311_125810-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190311_125810-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190311_125810-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4032px) 100vw, 4032px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">To secure the funds needed to purchase the equipment needed for the lab, I applied for a grant from our \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://upperdistrict.org/educate/outreach-programs/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">local water district\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The grant is dependent on creating a lesson that ties in to water, and coffee, as my students learned in class, is roughly 98.5% water! The next step was to invite local coffee shops to participate with us and donate their time and coffee beans to our lab. I reached out to a friend of mine at \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.bodhileafcoffee.com/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bodhi Leaf Coffee\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and he was able to provide coffee beans and his expertise by coming in to teach my students the basics of brewing coffee. I also reached out to\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mantracoffeeco.com/new-page-1\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Mantra Coffee Shop\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, who has a page on their website dedicated to giving back to the community they serve. They also agreed to supply our students with coffee and send their coffee trainer to come and speak to our students on the fundamentals of coffee roasting. It was quite a nice to surprise to find two businesses who were willing to donate their time and resources to our classroom. Through their participation, students saw members from their community investing in them. As a result, buy-in for this lab was much higher than the typical activities I facilitate in the classroom.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-531787\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190312_141009.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190312_141009.jpg 4032w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190312_141009-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190312_141009-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190312_141009-768x576.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190312_141009-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190312_141009-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190312_141009-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4032px) 100vw, 4032px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Over a two-week period, students embarked on a journey to design a cup of coffee in the most energy efficient manner they could. During the first week, students were exposed to the different variables that go in to a cup of coffee. Students learned about how the temperature of water, the rate of extraction, grind size and roast profile all affect the overall taste of coffee. Students utilized different brewing methods and received feedback on their work from the coffee professionals who came for a classroom visit. Although students were initially taken aback by the concept of drinking black coffee, over time students became more receptive to the idea and even began comparing tasting notes with the help of a \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://sca.coffee/research/coffee-tasters-flavor-wheel\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">coffee flavor wheel\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> I put up in class.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">During the second week, students were tasked with taking what they had learned the previous week to design their own coffee using recipes of their own formulation. With the only constraint being the amount of water used, groups chose their own water to coffee ratio, grind size and type of bean. Students recorded their data using data tables, and over a three-day period they completed multiple trials to get their ideal coffee down. On the fourth day, students presented their final designs to a panel of judges, including the professionals who had stopped by the previous week in class. The judges’ overall ratings on coffee flavor and strength, and the overall amount of energy (in kilojoules) used in grinding the beans and boiling the water, were taken into consideration to determine an overall winner. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-531785\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190312_141611.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190312_141611.jpg 4032w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190312_141611-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190312_141611-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190312_141611-768x576.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190312_141611-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190312_141611-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190312_141611-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4032px) 100vw, 4032px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">During this lab I incorporated a few different strategies that worked really well:\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>1.

I was intrigued by how the class took something so many college students were familiar with, coffee, and utilized it to teach a concept as complex as chemical engineering. However, over the course of the class, we came to learn that the basic concepts of chemical engineering were not that hard to grasp at all—at least, not when you have coffee to help you learn them!\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a high school teacher, I often look for models and investigations that can make chemistry more relatable to students.

The grant is dependent on creating a lesson that ties in to water, and coffee, as my students learned in class, is roughly 98.5% water! The next step was to invite local coffee shops to participate with us and donate their time and coffee beans to our lab. I reached out to a friend of mine at \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.bodhileafcoffee.com/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bodhi Leaf Coffee\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and he was able to provide coffee beans and his expertise by coming in to teach my students the basics of brewing coffee. I also reached out to\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mantracoffeeco.com/new-page-1\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Mantra Coffee Shop\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, who has a page on their website dedicated to giving back to the community they serve. They also agreed to supply our students with coffee and send their coffee trainer to come and speak to our students on the fundamentals of coffee roasting. It was quite a nice to surprise to find two businesses who were willing to donate their time and resources to our classroom. Through their participation, students saw members from their community investing in them.

During the first week, students were exposed to the different variables that go in to a cup of coffee. Students learned about how the temperature of water, the rate of extraction, grind size and roast profile all affect the overall taste of coffee. Students utilized different brewing methods and received feedback on their work from the coffee professionals who came for a classroom visit. Although students were initially taken aback by the concept of drinking black coffee, over time students became more receptive to the idea and even began comparing tasting notes with the help of a \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://sca.coffee/research/coffee-tasters-flavor-wheel\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">coffee flavor wheel\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> I put up in class.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">During the second week, students were tasked with taking what they had learned the previous week to design their own coffee using recipes of their own formulation. With the only constraint being the amount of water used, groups chose their own water to coffee ratio, grind size and type of bean. Students recorded their data using data tables, and over a three-day period they completed multiple trials to get their ideal coffee down. On the fourth day, students presented their final designs to a panel of judges, including the professionals who had stopped by the previous week in class. The judges’ overall ratings on coffee flavor and strength, and the overall amount of energy (in kilojoules) used in grinding the beans and boiling the water, were taken into consideration to determine an overall winner. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-531785\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190312_141611.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190312_141611.jpg 4032w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190312_141611-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190312_141611-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190312_141611-768x576.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190312_141611-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190312_141611-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2019/05/20190312_141611-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4032px) 100vw, 4032px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">During this lab I incorporated a few different strategies that worked really well:\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>1.

Examples of some projects are included \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJIu4bNScTM&feature=youtu.be\">here\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5UEDdWolxE\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just as students had learned the basics of brewing coffee from professionals, creating videos now allowed students the opportunity to communicate their learnings to others who might be unfamiliar with the science behind coffee. As a part of the project, I gave students the option to leave their video unlisted on YouTube so only students from the class with the link could see the videos. While some took that path, many posted their videos on their individual school accounts and made them visible to the public as they were eager to share their brew and what they learned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/U5UEDdWolxE\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although this lab took some time to plan, it was the most fun lab I taught this entire school year.
