Almost two years ago, several of my students participated in a Business Professionals of America (BPA) activity where they created a presentation about the dangers of texting while driving. I remember thinking “What? Who does that?” and being shocked that it was actually possible to do such a thing.
My class partnered up with the two Drivers Ed classes in the building and they gave their presentations to several of their classes. It was a successful project. My students worked very well together and they were proud of the message they were able to share with the other students. It was definitely a successful cross curricular project.
My husband sent me this video today. I’ll warn you, it’s graphic. Not inappropriately so, in my opinion, but not something you’d want to watch with younger kids peering over your shoulder. I’d like to show it to my students, but I’m afraid it would be billed as “inappropriate” by at least one parent (sadly so because the message is extremely important) so I’m emailing the link to the two Drivers Ed teachers I worked with two years ago and they can show it.
