Everyone has a great personal story that should be told. Sophomores at Barrington High School in Rhode Island have participated in an annual project titled “What’s Your Story?” Students share a brief personal narrative addressing a deep personal impact on their lives. The stories are developed through a pitch process, peer critiquing, and rehearsals. This podcast represents the culmination of the best stories, selected by their peers, told before a live audience without notes or edits. Each story is certain to entertain, captivate, and enlighten listeners.
Aligning to our district goals of service and project-based learning, this year, the secondary schools are working together to capture our stories and share them with the world. The blend of writing and performance, coupled with production and distribution, demonstrates 21st century learning and digital literacy. We are proud that our 7th and 10th grade students have partnered to reach a global audience while demonstrating a positive, authentic experience for connected learning.
