This week's teacher feature comes from two amazing high school teachers working hard through the end of the school year. Ms. Ashley Coleman and Mr. Corey Bittle had their students create a project from any area of interest that they studied throughout the course of the year. Ms. Coleman explains it best, "The project was a review of all content studied in the ninth grade course Academic American Studies II this year. Students were asked to create any project of interest of any material studied in the curriculum. Students spent six days in class using technology, art supplies, textbooks and notes to represent their favorite era, decade, historical figure, or event. Project submissions included music videos, dioramas, paintings, journals, website creations, scrapbooks, comic strips, children's books, play skits, short novels, memory boxes, newspapers, and many others. Students then viewed all peers work in a gallery walk as a way to honor the work but also to revisit historical context from the entire school year." I was amazed that some of the students created Minecraft projects and others used Python programming language for their projects! Great job Ms. Coleman and Mr. Bittle!
