My 3 Words Project

This project is one I hold near and dear to my heart. It all started several years ago on Good Morning America. Several people got together and thought it would be interesting to ultimately define yourself in just 3 words. They put their sayings to music, and the rest is history. Groups all over have been creating their own 3 Words videos whether it be to create a sense of unity, get to know each other, or even a creative writing assignment. Last year, my 7th grade classes and I created our own 3 Words video to depict who we were as individuals as well as a group. The project was a huge success, and the final product was special to all of us. I would like to try it again this year.

The video is also coupled with an essay entitled I Believe...
This essay is a way each individual can portray an idea or philosophy of their own to others. It isn't meant to preach, but instead a chance for them to reflect on why something is important to them and the thing they learned from it or why they care about it. This assignment received varied responses from students last year ranging from friendship and cancer to stealing and self-confidence. The possibilities are endless, and while it may seem overwhelming to some, the outcome is always valued that much more.

I look forward to working with you on this project and learning more about you in the process.

Good luck!
