To provide some context and explanation, the kids were asked to share a line from their speeches, a line that they felt captured the essence of their message. Sadly due to logistics and time running out on us, we were only able to get about a third of all students to contribute. Still, we felt it was enough to put the piece together. As you watch the video, please keep in mind that you will not have the full context or specific topic from each student’s speech, but what you will have is a thoughtful, honest perception from this generation. I am so proud of my kids. Enjoy.
Thank you, Kiersten for your all your hard work and expertise. Couldn’t have done it without you, kiddo. Thank you for “living into the A” I gave you in June for your final Independent Learning Project.

Thank you Kiersten for taking the time to do this! It turned out great! Sy, thank you for allowing us to share our opinion of the things that need to change in this world and to have a voice. Thank you for allowing us our moment to share. I feel like this video does a great job summarizing all the speeches that were given and I hope that this video can help your future students do even better. I’m so glad I could be a part of your class last year. Keep up the great work super Syrie!
I am truly happy that you had us participate in the project. It came out great and it opened a lot of eyes. This video was truly amazing. Thank you Kiersten! Also thanks Sy for introducing this project to us and challenging us with it. I do believe you should do it with your class this year.
