6th Graders Working on Great Projects

Sixth graders in Sarah Donelson's Social Studies classes are wrapping up their Medieval unit with a project. They chose to either build a Medieval castle and write a scenario of a day in the life of someone who lived there, write an essay on the history of Illuminated Manuscripts and then illustrate and illuminate it in a historically accurate way, or write the history of a political event in the style of a Viking Saga.
 
Sixth grade English students with teacher Christina Davis are working on a project where they are conducting research on a person who they feel has made a positive impact on society. Acting as junior editors of a national news magazine, students will be tasked with persuading their managing editors to feature their chosen person as the magazine's Person of the Year.
