Concluding Our Studies of Hope, Humanity, and the Human Spirit

We just finished our midterm exams and this marks the conclusion of this Hope, Humanity, and The Human Spirit unit.  Our midterm consisted of us creating some kind of presentation concerning a topic of our choice related to hope, humanity, or the human spirit.  My presentation talked about the death and destruction that our species causes and how it could potentially ruin and/or be the end of humanity.  Also, I compared this to how the Earth could be a better place if we would all stop being violent.

The projects that my classmates created were  very well done.  Many of the groups created movies that were extremely well constructed.  One group, in fact, interviewed students and teachers and asked them how they would define humanity.  Another group created a virtual time line based on possible dates of future events that would improve our planet.  There were many other interesting presentations, such as one defining humanity using psychology and another that contained an interview by a classmate with a Gifted and Talented teacher who lost his voice.

Ultimately, our class would like to create a collective video that will contain elements of all our presentations that would concern a wide variety of our unit.  Based on that talent that my classmates have exhibited with their own presentations, I believe that we will be successful.  The only thing that I am wondering about, is what our new unit will be.
