They crave ownership of the learning process, and that ownership can help promote mastery of essential skills and content knowledge. Owning their learning is also significantly more meaningful than having me—or any other teacher for that matter—tell students exactly what’s expected of them. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I prefer that students experiment with the learning, setting and holding themselves to their own high standards, while always striving to improve. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This fall I gleefully watched my journalism students launch a television news broadcast to accompany \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://www.bmgator.org/\">\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Gator\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, the online student newspaper I advise at Brimmer and May.

I had experimented with it earlier, but I fumbled by not initially trusting my students to do the work themselves. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sure, the final product looked good enough. But it reflected more of my efforts than that of my students, highlighting my shortcoming as an adviser. From the third broadcast onward, as much as possible, I removed myself from the equation. From the sidelines, I observed my students relying on each other to work through roadblocks to produce better and better segments, as they recognized and learned from missteps.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Many reflected that they felt awakened and maybe even a little angry that things were not as they thought they were. For example, the topic of deforestation due to palm oil harvesting had students reading food labels and asking questions like, “If harvesting palm oil is destroying the rainforests, why does the school sell foods with palm oil in them?” Some reflected feeling like they were finally old enough to hear the truth — and do something about it when they knew things weren’t just. Several even noted that their work for the projects was more than just for a grade, noting that, “I finally have something important to do at school.” (To be honest, that one stung a little bit!)\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_530252\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">[media-credit standalone=0 id=11287 align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"640\"]\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-530252\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2018/06/Screen-Shot-2018-06-07-at-6.39.44-PM.png\" width=\"640\" height=\"858\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2018/06/Screen-Shot-2018-06-07-at-6.39.44-PM.png 469w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2018/06/Screen-Shot-2018-06-07-at-6.39.44-PM-160x215.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2018/06/Screen-Shot-2018-06-07-at-6.39.44-PM-240x322.png 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2018/06/Screen-Shot-2018-06-07-at-6.39.44-PM-375x503.png 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">[/media-credit]\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Moved to action after watching clips from the documentary, “Racing Extinction”, one student created an informational and fundraising campaign to support the preservation of Emperor Penguins.

For example, I was reminded to pre-watch the whole clip before showing it to my class when a passionate advocate said a cuss word at a rally. I also was not entirely prepared for the full range of emotional reactions. A few students were moved to tears or asked to take a break outside after feeling overwhelmed. Yet others used the overwhelming feelings to justify inaction, apathetically noting that there were “too many problems” that were too difficult to address. Additionally, some of the questions left me feeling uneasy and potentially hypocritical. “If CO2 is heating up the earth, why would you drive a car?” “The ocean is filling up with plastic…how come we use plastic at school?” I had to embrace the discomfort and challenge my students to create alternative solutions!\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>In Closing\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Documentaries prove to be powerful tools for informing and activating our students!

Several even noted that their work for the projects was more than just for a grade, noting that, “I finally have something important to do at school.” (To be honest, that one stung a little bit!)\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_530252\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">[media-credit standalone=0 id=11287 align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"640\"]\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-530252\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2018/06/Screen-Shot-2018-06-07-at-6.39.44-PM.png\" width=\"640\" height=\"858\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2018/06/Screen-Shot-2018-06-07-at-6.39.44-PM.png 469w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2018/06/Screen-Shot-2018-06-07-at-6.39.44-PM-160x215.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2018/06/Screen-Shot-2018-06-07-at-6.39.44-PM-240x322.png 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2018/06/Screen-Shot-2018-06-07-at-6.39.44-PM-375x503.png 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">[/media-credit]\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Moved to action after watching clips from the documentary, “Racing Extinction”, one student created an informational and fundraising campaign to support the preservation of Emperor Penguins.

For example, I was reminded to pre-watch the whole clip before showing it to my class when a passionate advocate said a cuss word at a rally. I also was not entirely prepared for the full range of emotional reactions. A few students were moved to tears or asked to take a break outside after feeling overwhelmed. Yet others used the overwhelming feelings to justify inaction, apathetically noting that there were “too many problems” that were too difficult to address. Additionally, some of the questions left me feeling uneasy and potentially hypocritical. “If CO2 is heating up the earth, why would you drive a car?” “The ocean is filling up with plastic…how come we use plastic at school?” I had to embrace the discomfort and challenge my students to create alternative solutions!\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>In Closing\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Documentaries prove to be powerful tools for informing and activating our students!

This way, when students later compose their essays on a computer, they can easily access their handwritten notes. Depending on the topic of the upcoming essay, students document relevant evidence from the movie beside the appropriate character’s name. Students are responsible for their own notes, but I do pause the movie at important junctures to ask questions, conduct short discussions and clarify confusions.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>[media-credit id=11405 align=\"alignnone\" width=\"640\"]\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-530270 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2018/06/Ward-1.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"475\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2018/06/Ward-1.jpg 640w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2018/06/Ward-1-160x119.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2018/06/Ward-1-240x178.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2018/06/Ward-1-375x278.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2018/06/Ward-1-520x386.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">[/media-credit]\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cb>Honoring the Art:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Even though I pause each movie several times, I do so judiciously and only when it does not interfere with the flow of the plot.

I keep enough light on in the room so students can see what they write. Since I do not want students watching two screens at one time, these notes are always written on paper. This way, when students later compose their essays on a computer, they can easily access their handwritten notes. Depending on the topic of the upcoming essay, students document relevant evidence from the movie beside the appropriate character’s name. Students are responsible for their own notes, but I do pause the movie at important junctures to ask questions, conduct short discussions and clarify confusions.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>[media-credit id=11405 align=\"alignnone\" width=\"640\"]\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-530270 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2018/06/Ward-1.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"475\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2018/06/Ward-1.jpg 640w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2018/06/Ward-1-160x119.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2018/06/Ward-1-240x178.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2018/06/Ward-1-375x278.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2018/06/Ward-1-520x386.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">[/media-credit]\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cb>Honoring the Art:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Even though I pause each movie several times, I do so judiciously and only when it does not interfere with the flow of the plot.
