7th Grade Christmas Giving Commercials

The 7th graders have been working on their podcasting skills and also doing some research on charitable organizations that offer ways for us to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate.  The students chose a charity they wanted to advertise and then researched the mission of that organization.  They also used a site called Charity Navigator to decide if the organization spends most of their donations for the cause rather than for administrative costs. Then they worked either solo or with a partner to craft a "radio commercial" for the charity. As the students finish,  Mrs. Yakes is gathering the commercials on a Wikispace so that everyone can listen to them.  Please take the time to visit the 7th Grade Commercial Wikispace.  If you wish to leave a comment, visit the Discussion page and please post your comment!  Thank you!
