Student Creations

This week in 6th grade, we finished up our unit about ancient Egypt.  The students created their own cartouches with hieroglyphics.  A cartouche is like a name tag that people in ancient Egypt would put on their tombs and anything else that belonged to them.

Here are some of the cartouches that the 6th graders made.

In 7th grade, the students have been learning about the Scientific Revolution and the Age of Discovery.  Student created journals as if the were one of the major European explorers or their crew.  They wrote about what they thought the goals, feeling, and sights of these travelers might be.

 Sophie's journal explains what it might have been like to travel to India with Vasco Da Gama.

Georgia's journal tells of the adventures of Magellan's crew as they attempt to circumnavigate the globe.

The 8th graders recently began a unit about the Great Depression.  They learned about the stock market crash by acting out several scenarios.  Then, they created a comic strip to show the cause and effects that led to the Depression.

 This comic was drawn by Olivia S.

 Morgan uses captions, pictures, symbols, and speech to explain the stock market crash.

Ask your middle schooler about what they have created in Social Studies lately!

Have a great winter break and see you in January!
