"Do students need more time to learn, or do students need more time to play?"

Hello Parents and Grandparents,
Here's an article from 2013 written by Peter Gray (Boston College Psychology and Research Professor).  He shares some very interesting information about the need for play and free time for young people.

Welcome to Global Awareness

Welcome to Global Awareness

Are you ready to have fun and start sharing with the world a topic you think needs attention? Here is your chance to make a difference and create a Global Awareness Campaign to share what you think is important in the world today.

Stop Global Warming!No pollution is the solution!  Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Watch your waste!Stop smoking.Don’t Drink and Drive, Arrive Alive.Just say NO to Bullying. 

The above are of some examples of possible Global Awareness Campaign topics.  With your class, you will choose from a list of topics your teacher presents to you. After you have 3 possible topics you will break into 3 groups to make a "pitch" for that topic.  Tell us why your class should have a chance to create a campaign to raise awareness about the topic.  Why is the topic important to you and how will you raise awareness about it?

On Thursday evening, all classes in Global Awareness will attend an event called "GLPS has got talent!" where your class will pitch your 3 topics to a group of judges.  The class that does the best job convincing the judges that they are the best class to raise awareness for their topic will win the topic and get to do it for their Global Awareness Campaign.

Remember, you only have "one minute to win it" so work on creating a pitch that is persuasive and convincing in only 1 minute. 

Ready, set, go!

Remember to work as a TEAM and create a pitch for your topics.
