Use this presentation to help students learn presentation skills. || 10/2015 UPDATE: This has evolved to an inspiration journal.Students view a short video showing people demonstrating positive or inspiring actions and then write about it in their journals. 4th grade teachers Sarah Moennich and Jen Bernath added a vocabulary sheet with the learner profile attributes and IB attitudes (see below) that is pasted in student journals and have students glue a copy of the rubric to the left page on their journal so they can consult it. 3rd grade teachers, Lois Leonard and Kayleigh O'Neill added a self-reflection column to their rubric. Students write, and self-evaluate, then the teacher evaluates in the adjacent column so students get meaningful feedback. . Two good sources of inspiration videos are [|On the Road with Steve Hartman] and [|NBC Making a Difference] || http://allaboutexplorers.com/webquest/ ||  ||  Click the image to try Immigration Nation-an interactive game to help 4th graders learn about immigration.
