Middle School Tips

I found this video on YouTube and learned that a middle schooler made it. It actually contains some pretty impressive advice, especially from the mind of a middle schooler. This particular middle schooler appears very well versed in the development of adolescents at this time...she even taps into all five of the key areas of adolescent development.

To me, this seems like a fantastic teachable moment...maybe the creation of a video or slideshow could be assigned to eighth graders. They could give tips to fifth graders who will be entering middle school shortly and need help and guidance on what to expect in middle school.
