Soon, I found that newsier shows–\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.thisamericanlife.org/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This American Life\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Code Switch\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/podcasts/the-daily?mcubz=3\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Daily\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">–helped my students stay informed and improved their writing. I was teaching an AP English Language and Composition course and noticed my students lacked real-world examples when writing argumentation. They lacked examples because their overachieving teenage lives didn’t allow them to sit down and watch the \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">PBS Newshour\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> or read daily headlines. Instead, they were doing hours of AP homework and planning the Winter Formal and going to football practice. Not only did I want them to have well-developed, relevant examples for their papers, I also wanted my students to be informed about what was going on in their country and the world. I felt this authentic interaction with the questions and controversies of current events would enrich their writing, our discussions, and ultimately, their academic work.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, I kept it simple at first. I compiled a list of about \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kEOoAIT_GcHMJlTa3HdkGHs3zpkAMMHqA7dpwsc7c4o/edit?usp=sharing\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">twenty-five podcasts,\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> all of them with a current events angle. I explained that some podcasts were political discussions and let students know whether they leaned left or right (\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://www.slate.com/articles/podcasts/gabfest.html\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Slate’s Political Gabfest\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">). Some on the list were hard news and reported just the facts (\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/pbs-newshour-full-program/id394432287\">\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">PBS Newshour\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> podcast\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">). Some would tell a long-form story about something that may not be on the homepage of NYTimes.com but would be well reported and relevant (\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://www.radiolab.org/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">RadioLab\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">). I asked them to select one or two podcasts and to listen to about 45 minutes per week. They were then required to write a one-page summary and commentary on anything they took away from that episode. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The results were delightful. Each Friday my students would bound into class, excited to talk about the episode they listened to. We would spend about 10-15 minutes sharing summaries, which also allowed the class as a whole to absorb yet more news. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Students were fascinated by what they had learned, but I also wanted them to see how this new knowledge was now a powerful tool they could use in their writing. After they finished sharing, we would talk about sample writing prompts and how we could use the news examples from that week to strengthen an argument on that topic. Naturally, it didn’t work precisely for every prompt and every podcast. But over the course of weeks, students started to realize they knew much more about current events in detail and could use those details to create measured arguments on complex topics. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">They felt empowered, and their writing became much more detailed. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before their exposure to podcasts, even my strongest students would generalize or give very thin examples, which made their writing sound uninformed. Now, their writing had a sophistication to it.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As an added bonus, students seemed relieved they were being asked to listen rather than read this information: “It’s makes doing the dishes so much easier!” one of my students exclaimed and another liked that she could multi-task by doing this assignment while out on her cross-country run. I found that many of them began listening to podcasts on their own outside of the regular weekly assignment. I was giddy.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once I had created a learning environment where podcasts were a familiar and typical medium just as, say, a newspaper article or a novel is, it was very easy to incorporate other brief listening activities. I also found that my students had a greater interest in nonfiction and the kind of long-form journalism you might read in \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The New Yorker\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. I started assigning reading that complemented the podcasts as opposed to the other way around. Reading circles developed around books like Brian Stevenson’s\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://bryanstevenson.com/the-book/\"> \u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Just Mercy\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and 2017 Pulitzer Prize winner \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://www.evictedbook.com/\">\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Evicted\u003c/span>\u003c/i> \u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">by Matthew Desmond. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As we approached the end of the term, I felt justified in my use of this assignment. So many students were using the conversational yet academic voice of podcasts. They wrote like little NPR hosts and used examples that were rich in specificity. They made connections between literature, news and the issues that they continue to care about. At the end of the year, not that I teach towards the test (no, not any of us, right!?!), my students weren’t thrown off at all by the listening portion of the Smarter Balance assessments. Best of all, I now receive emails that start \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I continue to listen to podcasts a couple times per week (although most are about fantasy football/hip hop news), and I’ve begun to actually read recreationally” \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">so I know many students walked away with something that continues to inform their daily lives as citizens and lifelong learners. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",

They lacked examples because their overachieving teenage lives didn’t allow them to sit down and watch the \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">PBS Newshour\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> or read daily headlines. Instead, they were doing hours of AP homework and planning the Winter Formal and going to football practice. Not only did I want them to have well-developed, relevant examples for their papers, I also wanted my students to be informed about what was going on in their country and the world. I felt this authentic interaction with the questions and controversies of current events would enrich their writing, our discussions, and ultimately, their academic work.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, I kept it simple at first. I compiled a list of about \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kEOoAIT_GcHMJlTa3HdkGHs3zpkAMMHqA7dpwsc7c4o/edit?usp=sharing\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">twenty-five podcasts,\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> all of them with a current events angle. I explained that some podcasts were political discussions and let students know whether they leaned left or right (\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://www.slate.com/articles/podcasts/gabfest.html\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Slate’s Political Gabfest\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">). Some on the list were hard news and reported just the facts (\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/pbs-newshour-full-program/id394432287\">\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">PBS Newshour\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> podcast\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">). Some would tell a long-form story about something that may not be on the homepage of NYTimes.com but would be well reported and relevant (\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://www.radiolab.org/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">RadioLab\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">). I asked them to select one or two podcasts and to listen to about 45 minutes per week. They were then required to write a one-page summary and commentary on anything they took away from that episode. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The results were delightful. Each Friday my students would bound into class, excited to talk about the episode they listened to. We would spend about 10-15 minutes sharing summaries, which also allowed the class as a whole to absorb yet more news. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Students were fascinated by what they had learned, but I also wanted them to see how this new knowledge was now a powerful tool they could use in their writing. After they finished sharing, we would talk about sample writing prompts and how we could use the news examples from that week to strengthen an argument on that topic. Naturally, it didn’t work precisely for every prompt and every podcast. But over the course of weeks, students started to realize they knew much more about current events in detail and could use those details to create measured arguments on complex topics. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">They felt empowered, and their writing became much more detailed. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Now, their writing had a sophistication to it.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As an added bonus, students seemed relieved they were being asked to listen rather than read this information: “It’s makes doing the dishes so much easier!” one of my students exclaimed and another liked that she could multi-task by doing this assignment while out on her cross-country run. I found that many of them began listening to podcasts on their own outside of the regular weekly assignment. I was giddy.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once I had created a learning environment where podcasts were a familiar and typical medium just as, say, a newspaper article or a novel is, it was very easy to incorporate other brief listening activities. I also found that my students had a greater interest in nonfiction and the kind of long-form journalism you might read in \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The New Yorker\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. I started assigning reading that complemented the podcasts as opposed to the other way around. Reading circles developed around books like Brian Stevenson’s\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://bryanstevenson.com/the-book/\"> \u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Just Mercy\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and 2017 Pulitzer Prize winner \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://www.evictedbook.com/\">\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Evicted\u003c/span>\u003c/i> \u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">by Matthew Desmond. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As we approached the end of the term, I felt justified in my use of this assignment. So many students were using the conversational yet academic voice of podcasts. They wrote like little NPR hosts and used examples that were rich in specificity. They made connections between literature, news and the issues that they continue to care about. At the end of the year, not that I teach towards the test (no, not any of us, right!?!), my students weren’t thrown off at all by the listening portion of the Smarter Balance assessments. Best of all, I now receive emails that start \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I continue to listen to podcasts a couple times per week (although most are about fantasy football/hip hop news), and I’ve begun to actually read recreationally” \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">so I know many students walked away with something that continues to inform their daily lives as citizens and lifelong learners. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The VR experience was later shown to attendees at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. These are people who may never know what it’s like to be in a tent in a refugee camp in Jordan, Milk explains in his \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2015/09/11/439199892/what-happens-when-we-step-inside-the-screen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2015 TED talk\u003c/a>, but who make decisions that ultimately affect millions of people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It connects humans to other humans in a profound way that I've never seen before in any other form of media. And it can change people's perceptions of each other.

And more social science researchers have also started exploring VR’s potential to actually change the perceptions and behaviors of viewers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeremy Bailenson, who heads the \u003ca href=\"https://vhil.stanford.edu/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Virtual Human Interaction Laboratory\u003c/a> at Stanford University, has explored the issue in depth for more than a decade, conducting tests that enable viewers to, among other things, look into virtual mirrors and to see themselves reflected as members of different races, ages and physical abilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His work has shown that VR can trick the senses and give users the ability to identify with completely different types of people. The process, he argues, can be impactful enough to alter users’ beliefs and behavior, at least in the short run and potentially longer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not surprisingly, though, there are many skeptics of VR’s transformative power, and some have expressed concern with the technology’s potential to be used more as machine to manipulate viewers into believing or buying things, rather than a benign mechanism to spread truth and empathy and encourage acts of compassion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“VR is far from the moral game changer that some make it out to be,” insists Paul Bloom, a psychology professor at Yale University. In an \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/02/virtual-reality-wont-make-you-more-empathetic/515511/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">article for the Atlantic\u003c/a>, Bloom argues that VR “doesn’t actually help you appreciate what it’s like to be a refugee, homeless or disabled. In fact, it can be dangerously misleading.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He argues that these VR experiences do a good job in presenting glimpses of the physical environments of the people they focus on, but are largely ineffective at conveying the long-term experiences and psychological impacts of their conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The awfulness of the refugee experience isn’t about the sights and sounds of a refugee camp. It has more to do with the fear and anxiety of having to escape your country and relocate yourself in a strange land,” he says, noting that when users have control over the duration of the experience and the ability to turn it on and off, the experience becomes fundamentally different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not hard to try out certain short-term experiences, such as dealing with a crying baby for a few minutes, sitting alone in a closet, or having strangers gawk at you on the street. But you can’t extrapolate from these to learn what it’s like to be a single parent, a prisoner in solitary confinement, or a famous movie star. You can’t take an event of minutes and hours and generalize to months and years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"story-body-text story-content\">\u003ca name=\"unique-identifier1\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",

In fact, it can be dangerously misleading.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He argues that these VR experiences do a good job in presenting glimpses of the physical environments of the people they focus on, but are largely ineffective at conveying the long-term experiences and psychological impacts of their conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The awfulness of the refugee experience isn’t about the sights and sounds of a refugee camp. It has more to do with the fear and anxiety of having to escape your country and relocate yourself in a strange land,” he says, noting that when users have control over the duration of the experience and the ability to turn it on and off, the experience becomes fundamentally different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not hard to try out certain short-term experiences, such as dealing with a crying baby for a few minutes, sitting alone in a closet, or having strangers gawk at you on the street. But you can’t extrapolate from these to learn what it’s like to be a single parent, a prisoner in solitary confinement, or a famous movie star. You can’t take an event of minutes and hours and generalize to months and years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"story-body-text story-content\">\u003ca name=\"unique-identifier1\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

This helps students determine the focus of their lesson. For example, in my language arts class, all groups were challenged with teaching a chapter of a novel we were reading. Each lesson must address a literary element present in the chapter, and students were to choose from this list: characterization, conflict, theme, figurative language (symbolism, metaphor, simile, or hyperbole), setting or mood.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Instructional Materials\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Students had to design the instructional material for their lesson.

I let my students determine the method they preferred.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Conference with Students\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before teaching their lesson, I met with each group to make sure their lessons were meaningful. I also checked for errors and questioned them on their workflow. For example, one group created a template in Google Docs for their assessment. Their plan was to have each student make a copy of the template, but they didn’t think about how they were going to collect these individual copies. I suggested they use a Google Form to collect the links to the individual files. I also pointed out that if the assignment asked students to write a short response, then using Google Form where all the answers would be populated into one spreadsheet is more efficient than collecting over 35 individual files.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Day of the Lesson\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">To ensure that all lessons were focused and productive, each group had to teach a concept or skill and give an assessment in approximately 15 minutes. This helps keep the lessons interesting and the students engaged. The peer teachers were addressed as “Mr.” or “Ms.” which everyone found extremely amusing. During the lesson, students also enjoyed having command of the classroom and would gleefully direct peers who were off-task to pay attention.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Peer Assessment\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">After all lessons were taught, each group met to assess the data they collected from their peers. They had to determine a method for assigning grades, and I loved the discussions that arose over how to do this fairly. Each group would report a score for each student in the class. Then, I averaged the scores each person received from all the lessons that were taught and used that as a participation grade.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[media-credit id=11220 align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"540\"]\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-527654\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/09/Screen-Shot-2017-09-19-at-5.54.28-PM.png\" width=\"540\" height=\"726\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/09/Screen-Shot-2017-09-19-at-5.54.28-PM.png 389w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/09/Screen-Shot-2017-09-19-at-5.54.28-PM-160x215.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/09/Screen-Shot-2017-09-19-at-5.54.28-PM-240x323.png 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/09/Screen-Shot-2017-09-19-at-5.54.28-PM-375x504.png 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\">[/media-credit]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Reflections\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Not only did the students assess their peers for their participation in the lesson, they were also asked to evaluate their peer teachers and to nominate those who gave great lessons. In turn, they also evaluated their own teaching practice by answering the following questions:\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">What skills did you teach your peers?\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> How effective was your lesson?

My students truly enjoyed this activity, and countless students commented on how challenging it was to be a great teacher. One of my favorite responses came from a student who wrote, “I learned that it is not easy to be a teacher. It takes time and dedication to actually learn to teach properly.” Also, quite a few came to the conclusion that “being a lesson designer and presenter is harder than it looks.” Many also shared that creating a lesson forced them to learn the material better because they were responsible for becoming experts on their chapter.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Empowering Our Students\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">By giving students voice and choice, we are cultivating our students’ investment in their own learning. This project also fosters many college and career-ready skills such as decision-making, project management, analysis, collaboration, communication and metacognition. Not only did I enjoy seeing my students bring new energy into our classroom environment, but they had a blast, too. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let’s empower students by giving them more control over their own learning in the classroom.

I let my students determine the method they preferred.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Conference with Students\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before teaching their lesson, I met with each group to make sure their lessons were meaningful. I also checked for errors and questioned them on their workflow. For example, one group created a template in Google Docs for their assessment. Their plan was to have each student make a copy of the template, but they didn’t think about how they were going to collect these individual copies. I suggested they use a Google Form to collect the links to the individual files. I also pointed out that if the assignment asked students to write a short response, then using Google Form where all the answers would be populated into one spreadsheet is more efficient than collecting over 35 individual files.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Day of the Lesson\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">To ensure that all lessons were focused and productive, each group had to teach a concept or skill and give an assessment in approximately 15 minutes. This helps keep the lessons interesting and the students engaged. The peer teachers were addressed as “Mr.” or “Ms.” which everyone found extremely amusing. During the lesson, students also enjoyed having command of the classroom and would gleefully direct peers who were off-task to pay attention.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Peer Assessment\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">After all lessons were taught, each group met to assess the data they collected from their peers. They had to determine a method for assigning grades, and I loved the discussions that arose over how to do this fairly. Each group would report a score for each student in the class. Then, I averaged the scores each person received from all the lessons that were taught and used that as a participation grade.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[media-credit id=11220 align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"540\"]\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-527654\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/education/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/09/Screen-Shot-2017-09-19-at-5.54.28-PM.png\" width=\"540\" height=\"726\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/09/Screen-Shot-2017-09-19-at-5.54.28-PM.png 389w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/09/Screen-Shot-2017-09-19-at-5.54.28-PM-160x215.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/09/Screen-Shot-2017-09-19-at-5.54.28-PM-240x323.png 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/38/2017/09/Screen-Shot-2017-09-19-at-5.54.28-PM-375x504.png 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\">[/media-credit]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Reflections\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Not only did the students assess their peers for their participation in the lesson, they were also asked to evaluate their peer teachers and to nominate those who gave great lessons. In turn, they also evaluated their own teaching practice by answering the following questions:\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">What skills did you teach your peers?\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> How effective was your lesson? How do you know?\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> What can you do to improve your lesson?\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The responses to this project were overwhelmingly positive. My students truly enjoyed this activity, and countless students commented on how challenging it was to be a great teacher. One of my favorite responses came from a student who wrote, “I learned that it is not easy to be a teacher. It takes time and dedication to actually learn to teach properly.” Also, quite a few came to the conclusion that “being a lesson designer and presenter is harder than it looks.” Many also shared that creating a lesson forced them to learn the material better because they were responsible for becoming experts on their chapter.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Empowering Our Students\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">By giving students voice and choice, we are cultivating our students’ investment in their own learning. This project also fosters many college and career-ready skills such as decision-making, project management, analysis, collaboration, communication and metacognition. Not only did I enjoy seeing my students bring new energy into our classroom environment, but they had a blast, too. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let’s empower students by giving them more control over their own learning in the classroom. The end result might surprise you as much as it did me.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
