Middle Schoolers learn about the Holocaust October 26, 2009
Posted by Dottie Black in : Uncategorized , add a commentMs. Moser’s 6th graders spent six weeks learning about the Holocaust. They read books, watched movies, did writing assignments. At the end they took all that they had learned and felt and wrote poetry. Once the poems were written they created multimedia projects that added even more depth and feeling.

Copyright and Fair Use Guidelines October 8, 2009
Posted by Dottie Black in : Uncategorized , add a commentCopyright law is confusing and confounding. Trying to explain to 6th graders why they can’t use a popular song to play during their slide show is difficult. I had to do some research on copyright and fair use and I came across several very good resources to help you understand this very complex issue. It may seem daunting but our students need to know and understand the ethics involved in copyright and plagerism.
