• The Mural Project.

  Since our completion of the College Board's AP World History Exam, our class has taken on two of our most ambitious historical projects to date.  The first project was to choose, research, design, and paint 40 international flags along the top of my classroom wall.  We worked in groups, each with a head artist - and went to wrok.  It took us about 8 days to complete, and the students were incredible.  Next, we have taken on an even more ambitious project in the form of an historical mural, spanning the back wall of the classroom.  Again, we teamed up and researched seven main historical images to highlight.  Then, students David Koontz, Sydney Ducker, and Tori Silverman took to designing the frames.  With much help from the remainder of the class - they have just reached a completion of this amazing mural.  
• In all my years, I do not think I have ever been so impressed with the talent, work ethic, and discipline of a group of students.  All I can say is "thank you" to this incredible group of young people that I am lucky enough to have in my class.
