Listed below are the names of the Badges and how your students can get each one:

Snap Happy: 2-5 photos

Paparazzi: 6-10 photos

Photo Ninja: 11+ photos

 

Interviews:

 

Conversation Starter: 2 interviews

Insight Hunter: 3 interviews

Wisdom Warrior: 4+ interviews

As an educator, you can use the Badges to encourage your students to add more blogs, interviews, videos, and photos to their Roadtrip Projects! Good luck with the end of the school year!

Teaching Tip- Helping Your Students Find Their Interviews
