Kerise Broome

Broome’s innovative teaching idea, “The Amazing Race,” is focused on motivating students to become better writers by encouraging them to collaborate with their classmates. The project is a semester-long writing simulation and students will be grouped together based on their learning needs. Students will work in teams throughout the semester to collaborate, revise and edit what they write using classroom Chromebooks. Each week a new “challenge” will be incorporated to teach students a different skill. Each member of their team will then integrate this new learning into their writing assignment for the week. By using the classroom Chromebooks and Google documents, Broome hopes students will be able to improve and easily share their writing by partnering with their classmates.
