Student Work
Poetry Reading Night
With the support of a local community center I organized an annual poetry night in which students had the opportunity to share their poems with the public.
Angkor Wat Field Trip
In collaboration with the art department, we planned a weeklong trip to Sim Reap, Cambodia in order to make connections with Southeast Asia folklore, dance, and architecture.
Coding Fiction
Following a unit in which we read Lord of the Flies students coded playable video games, in which the player could play through the events of the novel and make their own decisions.
I have organized annual field-trips to a local theatre where students experience familiar folktales in new way. Students are given time to reflect on the experiences.
Non-Fiction Comics
To conclude a unit on the graphic novel Maus students and to further explore essential questions, students were asked to interview elders in the community and create anthropomorphic graphic novels telling their stories.
