Junior high ELA students share "All About Me" projects and leadership activities
Summary
Coquille Junior/Senior High ELA teacher Miss Little presented student writing and presentation exercises ("1st Chapter Friday," "All About Me" slides) and leadership activities; students Abby and Miley described how the assignments supported writing skills and confidence.
Albert Dixon introduced Miss Little and her 7th- and 8th-grade ELA students, and Miss Little told the board she uses weekly reading and short presentation projects to help students find their voice. "I'm missus Little, and this is my 4th year working here, at Junior Senior High School," she said before describing the class's "1st Chapter Friday" and writing and collage assignments.
Seventh-grader Abby described the "All About Me" slideshow and the creative freedom it provided: "I'm Abby. I'm one of Miss Little's 7th graders," she said, adding that the project used Canva for student presentations. Eighth-grader Miley explained how outlines and collages helped organize essays and encouraged creativity. Board members praised the students' enthusiasm and the teacher's engagement during questions.
