NCS: 7th grade



Today’s missive offers a peek into two different level III classes. In one, Peter is having students do a short writing assignments on the previous night’s reading from Chains. The task was to describe, from Isabel’s point of view, what happens to her and L. Seymour from the time they leave L. Seymour’s house to the time they walk in the front door of the Lockton’s house.

Dave’s science class is studying the formation, extraction, and uses of different fossil fuels. After a variety of teacher directed research activities, the student teams are now working on making animated movies which illustrate the concepts involved. Their work has moved from storyboards, to the construction of simple sets (pictured here), and on to filming their production.
