Final English Projects

We're wrapping up our after-school English class; last week our students turned in their final projects. We wanted them to do something creative, drawing from the cumulative English that they've learned this year. We gave them a long list of ideas - they could make a music video or write a story or narrate original drawings, for example, as long as their project had something to do with English. And from this list, they adapted these ideas and created their own original works.

Some of these impressed and amused us so much that we want to share them with you. The following are just a few excerpts from our students' final projects.

Original Poem: No Drugs

Young of the present,

an environment surrounds us

of a lot temptations

that drives to perditions.

Drugs can destroy you.

The dark ways can not let you leave.

They forsake a healthy life you can enjoy

because in the day and the night

they can kill you.

Trouble there is in the life.

Drugs are not the solution.

For a lot of youth it is the way.

Make an exception and choose

your destiny.

Book of Narrated Drawings, by Yerix

"This is the path of peace for people not like me."

"This is a shark. Wildest ocean creature."

"There are people who act as if they really wanted to help."
