A DASH project for end of year seniors. Based on the dash on the tombstone between dates of birth and death. We look at it from the standpoint of leaving childhood and entering adulthood. There’s about 4 mini projects attached to that. They choose 1 to share with class (after doing all of them). 4 modes of work (creative poster, written, electronic, etc.)
With lit circles there’s a project we do with talk show and author, talk show with characters, game show for content or theme (presentation format, not just a Kahoot!), emergency room community board with pamphlets for issue.
I like to use PowerPoint and Google Slides as a way to present information rather than a report or essay.

We acted out the courtroom scene from TKM. Another end assignment is to take Atticus’ closing argument and cut it down to the most essential words. First they cut half of the words. Then they cut half of that. Then they cut it down to a tweet. Great way to analyze the text. They then write justification for their cuts.

I have done multi-media research project slideshows based on theme. They have to pick a thematic statement from the book - quotes and characters that match the theme, historical events that support the theme, and current events that fit the theme, as well as other movies, tv shows, books that show the theme.

Hey all, I’ve recently joined EY consulting from another Big 4 and have noticed there’s no discipline (at least in my team) around codes and charging time. People either charge a standard 7 hrs or some will charge time spent on internal activities to their client code.

I was told that “the last person to charge their actual hours worked was promptly booted off the project”.
Just wondering:
1) Is this a general cultural point accross all Consulting teams? Will challengin this get me in trouble?

Hi all,

I joined

Should I start searching work outside.

Any inputs will be helpful.

Thanks!
