20time - 9th Grade Humanities @ Animas High School

#20time Overview

  • Letter Home: This is where to go for students and parents to get a bird's eye view on what this project is and why we're doing it!​

Step 1: The Launch

The launch period is the first week of the second semester!  During this time, we'll go over why we're doing this project, what we're doing and how we'll do it! We'll also brainstorm bad ideas that will hopefully lead us to the GREAT ideas! By the end of this week, you'll hopefully have the skeleton of your project idea fleshed out.

Step 2: The Proposal

This is the part where you propose your idea. You'll need to flesh out all the details of what you're doing, why you're doing it, how you'll do it, and the timeline by which you'll aim to achieve all the things you'll do!  

Deadlines

  1. Project Proposal Deadline: 1/26
  2. Elevator Pitches Begin: 2/16
  3. Final Presentation at All-School Exhibition: 5/19
  4. Blog: Weekly, ongoing!
​

Inspiration and Examples


Step 3: The Blog

Each week you'll need to update your blog!
Three things:
1. What did you accomplish this week?
2. What are you working on right now?
3. What do you plan to do next?

Oh yeah, include a photo.

Step 4: The Elevator Pitch

Step 5: The Presentation

It's time to celebrate DONE. The end of the year closes with a series of presentations in the TED Talk style at All-School Exhibition. Students have an opportunity to demonstrate their hard work, their struggles, and their victories to the community.
