Summer Learning Experience 2010
Summer Learning Experience 2010 - UNITY
Every student is required* to complete our 2010 Summer Learning Experience.
The Summer Learning Experience was created so every member of the Feehan community could share in a similar experience over the summer months. This program is designed to give a broader choice of enrichment possibilities by offering experiences in both literature and the arts.
This summer you are asked to strengthen your reading and reflecting skills by reading, engaging, and reflecting upon a multimedia package centered on the theme of Unity. With this theme in mind, we've changed some items around, so be sure to check this site carefully. We hope this experience will be both enjoyable and informative.
There are THREE parts to the 2010 experience:
1. Watch, read, listen, and view one item from each of the four categories.
2. Complete the SLE Reflection Pack (available in MS Word format or .pdf ) Due in homeroom on Thursday September 9, 2010.
3. Prepare for your small group meeting where you will meet with a small group including a student facilitator, a faculty member, and other 9th -12th graders for short presentations on Unity and this summer's learning experience. Each student is asked to come to the meeting prepared to make a 2 minute presentation. Click here for Presentation ideas.
