Project Narrative

My project consists of three separate sections. The first includes the opening day of the

project which will be detailed in an Inquiry-based lesson plan in the ​Appendix​, followed by

student lled scientific research about human emotions for Day 2 and Day 3. The second section

will center around Romeo and Juliet where students will look at predetermined sets of

relationships from Shakespeare's characters. They will analyze these characters' emotional

relationships and their implications. This will span for the following three days, more details

provided in a calendar in ​Table 1​. The final section begins on Day 7 where students will take on

the role of scientists, doctors, or podcast hosts sharing their new research with an audience. Day

10 will consist of the students presenting to their parents.

Sustaining The Project and Innovation

Technology

The Agua Fria High School District provides every one of their students with a

Chromebook, so I took advantage of that. In my project, students will complete exit tickets,

checks for understanding (Pear Deck, Padlet), create charts (GoogleDocs) which they can share

with their peers using the share option. Students will also be able to create their presentation of

information through a YouTube video, podcast app, or a blog forum.

After Proposal Period

In order to continue the topic of emotional awareness, I might think about incorporating a

clause relating to it in the social contract for my classroom. My students have gained new

knowledge and I want them to be held accountable and reminded of this, it will help their future

as adults within society. Seeing other teachers implement emotional intelligence and awareness

will keep consistency for both students and teachers.

Innovation

With moving forward, this project makes it possible to continue looking for ways to

change the way students learn. This will hopefully inspire students to actively create questions

and then look for ways to answer them on their own. They will have learned new ways of

solving problems and will be able to apply that in other areas. Eventually, I will be able to offer

more one-on-one support to those that need it if the previous takes place.
