Evaluating Student Progress in Middle School 

This poster will include data collected from a Briggs Middle School classroom where I had the privilege to teach for the past semester. The data will also be featured in an extensive work sample that will include work from a low-achieving student, a grade-level achieving student, & a high-achieving student. The poster will show copies of the pre/post test, graphs of student achievement, & samples of the performance task. Come learn what middle school teens are learning!

“In the Beginning There was the Force

This presentation will explore the parallels of Goethe’s epic poem, Faust, and George Lucas’ sci-fi masterpiece, Star Wars. Faust is a dark tale which describes the pull of sin and corruption in the form of bliss via a bargain between Dr. Faust and Mephistopheles. In Star Wars, I will be focusing on Anakin’s draw to the Dark Side, his bargain with Darth Sidious and his foil, Luke, who overcomes every temptation that his father fell prey to. I will prove my argument by comparing the upbringings, trainings, the bargains, falls and possible redemptions for both Dr. Faust and Anakin.
