WARM UP IN JOURNALS You are now going to design your dream school and be prepared to present your findings to the rest of the class. (30 min) What is the school’s name and why? How does this school look like? What kind of teachers would you want at your school? Which kind of programs would you have available to your students? How would you educate students? How would you make sure that all students have access to all of the resources they need to succeed? * Make sure to cite Sir Ken Robinson’s video in your findings.
