Mr. Artigliere's World

Mr. Artigliere teaches English to ESL students at John Jay Pershing Middle School. He started his web site to share the fine work of his students while they were researching the impact of oit spills on our soil. His website quickly became a place for not only students, but parents, colleagues and administrators to "check out" what's happening in Room 208. Feel free to join them at www.mrartigliere.com

Living Proof

M.S. 62 produced an award-winning documentary video entitled Living Proof which actively and creatively uses the oral history and video shoot methodologies realized by middle school students to provide a unique lens/viewpoint for the Holocaust experience. The convening of students from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Brooklyn, Israel, and parochial/public schools to conduct these interviews is distinctive.

2011 Martin Luther King Day of Service Challenge

On what could have been a day at home or in the playground, students at MS 2 Parkside Prep chose to participate in the 2011 Martin Luther King Day of Service Challenge. Students met with Ms. Dawes and other teachers from MS 2 first at IS 292 for their opening ceremonies and then moved on to PS 149 to do their "day on" of service. The kids and their teachers had a wonderful day. They tweeted throughout the day. Follow their conversation at http://twitter.com/mlkday.  Soon they will be sharing their reflections of the day at http://mlkday.gov/indx.php .

The Manhattan project

The purpose of this project is for students to discover how and why social and political changes occur and present us with the city we live in today. Students will use a variety of resources to compare and contrast the many ways Manhattan has changed in 100 years. Some changes will include architecture, social changes such as immigration patterns, education, reforms and entertainment. Various Web tools were used to enhance the project presentation.
