One of my favorite END-OF-YEAR activities for students who are promoting, graduating, moving on, etc. is called "The Film of Life."

Students have 22 'movie frames' to fill in with wonderful (and maybe not so wonderful) memories like losing a tooth, going on an airplane ride, winning an award, playing a sport… etc. All of these experiences have made your students the people they are today.

Endings sometimes bring a roller coaster of emotion. It is not easy leaving a place, leaving friends, graduating, and/or moving on to the next chapter…. Help them remember with a project they will keep forever.

Lesson includes a 14-page Student Instruction PowerPoint with examples, Film of Life template, Teacher Instructions. Thank you!

Teachers! Are you looking for a TIMELY writing activity to do with your students during the month of December? The Kennedy Center Honors Research Project may be perfect for you and your students!

2022 celebrates the 45th Kennedy Center Honors which recognizes entertainers for their lifetime contributions to American Culture. This is a wonderful CULTURAL LITERACY writing activity to do with your middle or high school students. Your students will have a greater appreciation for the arts and the effect these talented men and women have had on our culture. The Kennedy Center Honors will be televised in late December on CBS, so your students can write about it - then watch the entertainers on TV receive their award.
