Wow, Great Graffiti!

From Movies

As you can see from the video, it's day two of the Graffiti Wall and we now have some comments on the wall!  A few of the classes have started walking by and writing their thoughts about the three exhibition topics.

The questions for the graffiti wall are: 
1. What is the exhibition?
2. What local or global topic should we investigate for exhibition?
3. How do you feel about doing the exhibition this year?

Although it's still too early to tell yet, some of the repeated suggestions for the exhibition topic this year are impact of technology, bullying, and contamination.  Wow!  What a diverse group of topics we are starting with!  I'm really looking forward to seeing what gets chosen!

As a student in the exhibition, why do you like/not like writing your ideas on the graffiti wall? How does seeing the ideas of the other students help you think more deeply about exhibition?

As always, I look forward to reading your comments!  Keep up the great graffiti-ing!
Miss Jessica :)

We're getting ready....

We're getting ready to start Exhibition 2011!  The teachers are already working hard to organize and prepare the beginning of the exhibition for this year.  One of the first important starting points is getting teachers organised to be mentors for the different exhibition groups in the classes.  To get teachers from around the school interested, we sent them this video to inform them and get them excited to help out.



It's only been one day and we've already received 5 requests to be mentors!  You can help us by talking to some of the teachers in the school and asking them to be mentors for exhibition.  The more mentors we have, the more support and help you will get during your inquiries!

What do you think of the video?  Do you think it encourages teachers to help us out with the exhibition?  What is something you could say to encourage teachers to help us?

Leave a comment below.  I look forward to hearing your ideas!
