For the Love of Art
In our World Literature course, we have read several stories that deal with hardship and various types of conflict in the world. One of those stories is Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. Students analyzed characters, made connections, researched modern day refugee issues, learned about Afghanistan, and so much more. While reading this story, students were also given an activity menu to choose assignments that reflect events, themes, moods or characterization in chapters of the
Poetry Galore!!
While reading Kite Runner, some students have chosen to write poetry inspired by events in the novel. #kiterunner #poem #poetry #theme #worldlit
Searching for Summer
Ninth graders were seperated into literature circles. Each circle read a different story, which they analyzed, discussed, and gave a presentation on. One group read Searching for Summer by Joan Aiken. Part of their presentation included sharing a watercolor painting based on imagery from the story. #worldlit #aiken #art
