Mr. Lewis’ Jedi Times - Episode XXII

THE JEDI TIMES Episode XXII February 12, 2016

Episode XXII: World Tour What has seemed like an eternity of research, learning, and writing has finally culminated in the absolute most astounding work I have ever seen produced by a group of students in my career. The young padawans of Jedi Academy presented their Google Slides projects on the countries they researched, and I can say without a doubt that they learned a great deal about their countries, conducting research, using technology, professional presenting, and being a great audience member. Please take a look at the great work they produced!
