Procedure
During the presentation I will pause after each clip to select
individuals from eachgrade level to reveal the character trait
depicted. Chocolate will be given to the
grade level as a thank you for participation. I will then
briefly review some of the
descriptors for that pillar using the Prezi. After the Prezi,
teachers will choose a
pillar to promote at our school and collaborate on various
classroom and school wide
activities that can be conducted to promote this pillar. Each
grade level will
present their work and the posters will be converted to slides
using PowerPoint to
be used later and distributed to teachers.
