At the end of the year, the 8th grade English class did a short story writing unit (in a couple of the photos below you'll see them sharing their stories), the 7th grade English class wrote a comparison paper of two artists (see the photo of the student sharing his paper with an accompanying slide show), and the sixth grade social studies class finished up with a unit on the Renaissance. We completed this unit by holding a Renaissance ball at which all the students played famous Renaissance people (see photos of the ball below). It was great to finish the year with these units because I was able to see how thoroughly clever and creative our students can be!
