Throughout the past couple weeks, tenth grade has been working on a project in their english classes. The project instructions were to “identify an injustice you feel strongly about in our school, community, and possibly even state, country or world,” according to teacher, Mrs. Anderson. They were then instructed to research their protests and take action through the many options that were provided within their assignment. Being that there were many different groups working on these projects, the content and presentation types were varied very generously. However, if there is one thing that could be said about all projects, it would be that they all had a powerful message behind them. Each project brought something different to the table. A few examples of the different projects included bring back the pack, a protest against world hunger, texting and driving and numerous were done on the inequality between different groups of people. They were also presented in many different ways. Isaiah Brindamour created a children’s book that demonstrated the importance of seeing things from all points of view and that hate doesn’t fix hate. Jaedyn Brigan and Avery Degerstrom created a Go Fund Me page to which people can donate money to fight the global issue of starvation. Josey Olson presented a research presentation on the monk that used self-immolation to protest against the government in India at the time. Lastly, Gary McFarland took a historic approach and told the class about the different ways and reasons the Berlin Wall was protested by many. All of these groups brought something unique and compelling to the assignment and overall, it was very well done. Awards were also given to the groups who exemplified the most persuasive protest, best protest, and most creative protest. In Mrs. Anderson’s 2nd hour class, Hannah Davis won most persuasive with her objection to dress codes, Ana Eng and Brooke Dutcher won best overall protest for protesting school lunches, and Jenna Bina won most creative project with her presentation and short story on “the dangers of the deep dark web.” In the 3rd hour class Ricky Skaff won most persuasive protest with his discussion on 2nd Amendment Rights, Haylee Grice and Allyce Mulder won Best Protest with the backpacks protest, and Edward Roubinek won most creative by arguing that students have the right to have food in schools. Lastly, in the 5th hour class, Brooke Dronen, Cori Neff and Kirstyn Kaiserlik won most persuasive by protesting distracted driving, Avery Degerstrom and Jaedyn Brigan won best protest by challenging the world’s hunger problem and Tristan Mayer won most creative with his presentation on racism. Congratulations to all groups on exceptional projects.
