WOW! What A Great Night With Some Great Heroes
Marzuq Muhammad (young man from Boston who works with urban youth to stress the importance of education), Mary Flannery and Kit Jenkins (from an incredible organization called RAW) joined us to be a part of our WOW! presentation to family, friends and classmates at the Orchard Gardens School on 12/15/2010. Our WOW! featured the kids talking about what they learned during the Heroes and Journalism apprenticeship as well as a video presentation with summary clips from our classes, interviews along with statements from the kids on what they learned about being a good journalist, what it means to be a hero, and how they could see themselves as heroes one day. They all did a great job and the video thanks to Patrick Morse (from Citizen Schools) editing and videography skills was terrific.

Our Last Hero Interviews and Preparation for Our WOW!
On 11/17 and today, the kids have been preparing for our WOW! on 12/15. They are working hard to pull everything they have learned together including importantly from our live interviews with our Heroes (Marzuq, Michelle, Annemarie, Scottie, Mary and Kit). They have done a terrific job throughout the class and Patrick and I have been so impressed overall with their seriousness and preparation most notably during our interviews. For the WOW!, we will have 10-12 minutes to demonstrate what we have learned and the kids will do most of it. They will kick it off with some short introductions / overviews of our classes, and then we will watch a video which will include statements about what they have learned about heroes, good journalists and what they would like to do to help others one day.
Next week we will have a dress rehearsal for the WOW!
