Laws of Life -Changing perceptions and changing lives
http://www.iearn.org/projects/laws.html
Students
will investigate their own values/"laws of life", test them in a
real-life situation, then communicate and share what they have learned with
other students around the world in writing in the form of a short essay. In
addition to communicating in writing, students will be asked to enrich and
enhance their learning and written-communication skills using some "right
brain", creative methodology employing the Arts (i.e. drawing, poetry,
painting, sculpture, film, on-line animations, music, movement, etc.).
Students
and teachers around the world will be able to share and learn from each other
through the on-line and hard-copy compilation of student products. Of equal
importance is that students will have the experience of applying their values in
the real world. This will give them the experience of compassionate action and
help build a future of compassionate adults in the world.
This lesson plan is a comprehensive guideline on getting started with iEARN for the first time with grades 5-12 students.
