16 8:20 | ART WITH MS. CHAMBERLIN Grade 9 starts the day in Studio Art I. Today, they are putting the finishing touches on their collage album cover project. Over the last several classes, students were tasked with choosing a song that's meaningful to them and, working with Ms. Chamberlin, they learned how to assemble a collage. Students have been practicing technical skills like appropriate cutting techniques and composition while creating a piece they feel proud of and have a connection to. In the culminating activity to this unit, each member of the class will share their album designs and discuss the artistic meaning behind their collages. 9:15 | WORLD HISTORY WITH DR. ANDERSON During this unit in World History, students have been learning about important River Valley civilizations, most recently Ancient Egypt and its accomplishments. Today is the culmination of the unit and their Pharaoh trading card project. Each student researched a Pharaoh and learned about when they ruled, what their key accomplishments were, and what monuments and other structures or features defined their rule. They created "trading cards" of their Pharaoh and traded cards with their classmates, then participated in a group discussion about the Pharaohs, tying them to things they had already learned such as use of hieroglyphics, their association with different gods and goddesses, and the construction of pyramids, new cities, and temples.
