7th Grade Readers Feature Projects for a Christmas Classic

Charles Dickens’s  Christmas classic, A Christmas Carol inspired Israel Horovitz’s adaptation of the novella into a play which seventh grade students recently studied. As a culminating assignment for the unit, students created one of three projects: mobiles featuring various symbols or characters from the play, dioramas depicting a scene, or a large character poster. Their creations are on display in the library, some line the second-floor hallway, and a few hang from the ceiling in the literature room. The above video is an easier way to see some of the students’ creative accomplishments.
Sixth graders were recently visited by Dr. Kochheiser, who is part of an archeological team that has been investigating a site in Jordan for several years. Students learned about how historical sites are excavated, and how artifacts are used as clues to understand the past. They even got to see and touch artifacts that are 4000 years old!
