HMS Student Work Presented in Boston

Posted: February 6, 2012

Grade seven students at Harkins Middle School have published accounts of their visit to the Miramichi Salmon Association’s (MSA) conservation project in South Esk last fall. They learned about efforts of the MSA to further the preservation of Atlantic Salmon. Their videos, produced from still photos with voice-overs, were presented to the Miramichi Salmon Association Education meeting in Boston on Friday February 3. The student work, produced in French, helped them to appreciate the importance of natural habitats and conservation while providing an authentic opportunity to help them master a second language. The presentation allowed the MSA to highlight their work in education. To see the student’s videos visit HMS Fish Stories .
