“When I told the students that they were going to record their posters,
there was a PHYSICAL reaction. They sat up straighter, their eyes went
ide. They were so much more invested in their project and their word
choice because they knew they were going to have an audience and they
were in the starring role.” Whitney McCallum- PSS 4th Grade Teacher
