Issues Project to their families, and the Amity
community on Tuesday, March 5th in the AMSB Gym.
Presentations were open-house, exposition-style. The
students worked hard on these projects for nearly 6
weeks and were excited to show off their results.
Issues included access to water, access to
education, disease and epidemics, use of child soldiers,
LGBTQ and gender rights, civil war, refugee crisis, and
habitat preservation.
Student groups resented and informational poster, an
awareness campaign (which may be presented with
technology, art, or music), as well as an individual
argumentative essay, in which they advocate for what
they believe to be the best organization for their chosen
issue. The final products were an impressive
demonstration of student learning and motivation.
