Heroes
| Students fascinated by WWII speakers |
 |
E.V. Cain Charter Middle School students circled around World War II veteran Commander Francis Ferry as he shared his war stories - namely co-leading the team that sunk the Japanese warship YAMATO at just 25 years old.
Suzanne Scotten, who created the heroes project and assigns it to her students each year said her students are tasked with finding people who have overcome great adversity or done something to benefit the planet and sharing their story with others through multimedia.

What's Your Story?
Everyone has a story and we have been studying stories all year: Anne Frank, Cesar Chavez, The Slave Dancer, Freedom Writers, Rosa Parks and Charly Gordon are just some of the people we've read about. Now, you're about to set off on a journey to find a story you can tell. There are many unsung heroes---ordinary people doing extraordinary things---in our community, state, country and world. Your job is to find a person who is doing something extraordinary to help "repair the world" or a person who has lived through adversity that we can learn from.
The best projects will be featured on my website, and perhaps even nationally on the Lowell Milken Center Website at the link below This project combines all the skills we have learned and practiced this year: research, interviewing, writing, grammar, tech skills, communication and more. Good luck, enjoy, learn, and have fun!
