DUMONT HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT WORK
​TUTTLE TENURE PORTFOLIO ​

I encourage students to find original ways to find their voices in their assignments These are a few submissions (all video was used with permission from parents) that represent work I've assigned here at Dumont High School.

Warhorse Book Response
Extra Credit assignment Submitted by Michaela Molina Grade 9
​Class of 2027

I rarely give extra credit, but one way I encouraged students to read outside the classroom was to provide this opportunity to read Michael Morpurgo's classic "WarHorse" and write a review of it for a half-letter grade on a test or quiz. 

Student as Teacher Project
​Angelina Aguirre and Karan Shah 9th Grade Class of 2028

Each academic quarter, I ask my students to take a topic to present to the class. In the beginning of the year, they work in a small group of 3 or 4 students. In mid-year, they are assigned a partner, and as the year ends, they present by themselves.
This is from Angelina Aguirre and Karan Shah. I thought Angelina's addition of the video (slide 2) was especially entertaining and original  

Treaty of Versailles Project

One of my favorite lessons is the "Welcome to Versailles" Project. The Class is divided into three teams, Britain, France, and the US.  Each team has to form committees to negotiate different aspects of the treaty and then meet together to hammer out the actual treaty. This class organized themselves very well; they created their own ground rules and marked agreed upon topics on the board- their own idea!
