Mrs. Mize and Mrs. Cantrell's senior English classes have been reading Shakespeare's Macbeth. To help students, Mrs. Mize and Mrs. Cantrell encouraged students to use No Fear Shakespeare, which puts the Shakespearean language beside the modern text. Students also created storyboards to guide them through the story. Pictures can be found on the Facebook website.
Research time! Sophomore and junior English classes have been researching over the last few weeks. Although researching can be frustrating, students learn to persevere and decipher legitimate sources from all the nonsense out there. Understanding how to research is just as important as writing the research papers. Good luck, researchers! We know you can do this!
Ms. Fox's APUSH students participated in a fun activity, helping them understand Island Hopping, a strategy used by the US in World War II.
The purpose of Island Hopping was to battle the fewest amount of islands possible in the Pacific to get to Japan. In the activity, the students had the choice to battle more islands to get to Japan or battle less, but there was a risk with battling less--they had to "hop" from 1 desk to another (probably about 3 feet), and if they did not make it, they "died," and the US had 1 less person to use to "defeat" the Japanese controlled islands.

From Ms. Antoon, AP English Literature teacher:
One of my favorite projects in AP Literature- after a novel or play unit students select a relationship in the text, quantify it, and create graphs of the two elements in the work! Data selection comes from quotes in the text. Then they connect those interlocking elements to the meaning of the work. Students really did an outstanding job this time! Can’t wait to read their Othello essays they wrote today!

Ever wonder what your future child will look like?! Mrs. Lowe's Biology and Pre-AP Biology students were paired up to draw babies using the concepts of Mendelian Genetics to determine what traits their child would have. What a cool activity, Mrs. Lowe! Check out the Facebook post for pictures!
