Preparing Today's Students for Tomorrow's World

Idioms Investigations

Ruby Crawford, Humboldt Middle School teacher, directed her 7th and 8th grade reading and language arts classes to big screen performances. Figurative language was the theme and the students determined the best method to create and demonstrate the meaning. They were able to support their learning while creating games. Integrating technology, working in small collaborative groups, and student directed learning earned an Oscar for all students.
