Lesson Topic
LIVE Reporting: Tenn. VOLS Baseball Camp Experience
Lesson Outline
Jackson All-Star Day in the classroom! Focused, connected, alert, absorbing in lessons and creative under pressure. After discussing what's "NEWs" / current events, we begin structuring a fictional Live Reporting Event re: his experience at his younger brothers Tenn. VOLS baseball camp. Miller was supposed to record a on-cam 'stand up' @ Knoxville but snow altered access. He did write it so Jackson was assigned to tell / build-out the story from there. We shot Look Live intro and tags @ Batt school yard & created fictional sound bites from VOLS coaches & players attending. Jackson's ability to focus despite a whirlwind of activity in his life with baseball & brothers is impressive. Miller joyfully exclaims "Hey, I'm getting good at this!"

Lesson Comments
By far Jackson's best day in class. Totally connected throughout the 90 minutes. Even his questions about subject matter, baseball & life are sincere. His comprehension is advanced. His 'coachability' is outstanding. No doubt, my choice to design topics which are relatable to his paramount interest creates the desired connection to learning and advancing but Jackson is a sharp kid who isn't afraid to be challenged. I enjoy watching his mental wheels turn when I ask him to think beyond the obvious and create content which is unique, as only he can tell it from his perspective--and in this case @ the VOLS, access. Grand Slam day for Jackson Miller!
