Environmental Charter School 3rd Grade Persuasive Writing Project: Career Exploration
In Spring 2014, SLB worked with 75 third graders at ECS as they identified issues of concern in town hall meetings, interviewed community members about their careers, and created radio advertisements to promote these careers and their connection to the ECS guiding principles of Catalyst, Character, Collaboration and Commitment. Listen below to hear excerpts from each of three town hall meetings as well as the students’ final advertisements.
