ILE week 8

This marks 8 weeks of school for us. In the ILE we only had a three day week of school. Most of which was spent in the separated  ILE 9 & 10 core classes.  The ILE 10 group mainly worked on their history videos, biology lab reports,and reading the book called The Hot Zone. The 9th graders have been learning skills for their next project. Stay tuned for next week’s blog. Also, make sure you check out our YouTube channel The ILE Update.  

ILE week 7

This week in the ILE, the college promotional videos were presented and the students were given introductions to what they will be working on next. On Monday the different college groups were given the time to create an introduction to their promotional videos.  They were given a choice of how they were going to do the introduction whether it was a presentation, skit, kahoot, or interactive game. They were supposed to get the audience involved and excited to watch their promotional videos.  After the students presented their videos, they split into 5 different groups and gave reviews on the presentations and said which school they wanted to go to based on the videos and information that was given during their presentation.  Once the Milwaukee project was wrapped up, the students broke up into the ILE 9 and ILE 10 groups and were introduced to what they are going to be doing in the core classes. Stay tuned for next week's blog and the video of the presentations.  Also, make sure you check out our YouTube channel The ILE Update.  

ILE week 6

This week in the ILE we spent the week working on our videos and getting them put together.   All eight groups had to finish their rough drafts, so the teacher could give reviews on their videos.  There were several little details that everyone worked on in their own different groups to make their projects the best they can be. On Thursday the teachers previewed each group's video. Then each group worked more on their video to make it the best it could be. Basically, all week we worked in our different groups and worked on our projects.

ILE week 5

The highlight of week five was going to four Milwaukee colleges, we traveled to Milwaukee Area Technical College, Marquette University, University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, and Milwaukee Schools or Engineering. All of the students went on tours of their different campuses. One student, Sarah Weber, went to MATC.  Sarah talked with Kyle Hayden, her introductory presenter, who told her a little about the programs and financial help that MATC has to offer.  Then the tour guide took her throughout MATC and they had the chance to interact with some of the professors.  After finishing the tour, Sarah and her group went to eat lunch in their colleges cafeteria. Once lunch was over they had a chance to interview Mr. Hayden.  After interviewing Mr. Hayden, Sarah’s group met up with the rest of the ILE groups and headed back to Arrowhead. Stay tuned for a future blog on the videos that we will soon make.
