Final Projects for Foundations of Education
by Kristi Wright
This project and presentation took the place of a comprehensive final exam. Students had to choose a film from a provided list featuring some aspect of teaching, culture, and education. For the final project presentation, each student was asked to view one of these films and find two articles from professional journals that relate in some way to the film’s themes. Mrs. Schrick spent a day with the students teaching them how to find professional journals. In each presentation, each student presented a thesis, excerpts from the film, and a summary/excerpts from the article in order to inspire a conversation on the educational theme addressed in both pieces.
