The Beginning of 20-Time (Part I)
What is 20-time? Glad you asked! In Mr. Orre's biology class, we are working on a long term project that we are passionate about for 20% of our class time each week. By the end of this project, the goal is to achieve a solution to the problem you are concerning or complete a major portion for a greater good. My 20-time doesn't have an essential question, but a dream goal: I want more people to be aware of their surroundings and the planet we live on. I feel that most people would use an educational pamphlet to hold their half chewed gum or a google slide would be nap time for high school students. My 20-time is educating Saratoga High students and making them more environmentally conscious with a whole week (during the week of Earth Day) dedicated to problems affecting the environment, such as energy conservation, pollution, ocean waste, etc. At the end of the week, we could have a fair with different booths, similar to a club day, but more about the environment.
