It's officially Springtime, and we've jumped in to learning head first! This month marks the start of our yearly Shakespeare unit, in which our Literature and Theatre classes work together to study Shakespearian works and language, while preparing for our end of the year play performance. Students learn about Shakespeare's place in history, how he has influenced English over time, and how to embody and translate his plays, both as academics and actors. All this work comes together in a student play performance, which takes place during our graduation (this year's piece is from Hamlet.) We can't wait to see what our students come up with, and to take our journey into Shakespeare's brilliant mind!
This month students also completed and presented their Social Studies projects. Students put together detailed slideshow presentations about an important event in American History which led up to the Civil War to help introduce our next unit. We're so proud of their hard work, and all the research they put in to their amazing presentations!
