Creativity Abounds in the PRINTS High-School Classroom Research

This has been an exceptionally busy week for us in the EK/HS program as we are all working hard on our Historical Halloween Projects. We will be presenting our work on Thursday morning - a little taste of all of our hard work before we have parent-student-teacher conferences on Friday. Below is a selection of our "work-in-progress"!

Research - the beginning of any project
Mapping out the artistry of a presentation board
The pyramids take shape!
Answering questions and defending our choices
More research using books and computers
Note-taking and synthesizing details
Sometimes having a little fun lightens the pressure!
A lot to consider when English is not your first language...
A board taking shape
We improvise so as not to get too messy
Using clay to make models
The Egyptians' artistry was extraordinary - a great inspiration

Improvising again...
Using everything we have available to make an impact


Busy mask-making
Measuring and cutting materials for costumes
Another board taking shape
Problem-solving is key - we have to work hard to make the impact with simple materials
The work is intense and takes great focus
We will be finished soon!
