Project Showcase
Civics/English: Immigration Project.
Learners were asked to investigate the history of immigration into our country. Research was conducted regarding how our immigration laws have changed over time to reflect reactions to 9/11 as well as current issues regarding illegal aliens. Students created slide shows, performed skits, and one group went to the historic Powhatan Courthouse to film their skit complete with a judge, lawyers, and jury.

Math Applications and Algorithms: Matrices
What kind of math is needed if you are running your own business? Mrs. Holder's students worked with inventory of their made up companies to determine what type soda the customers preferred. Who knew multiplying matrices and charting the results would be this much fun. To top it off, each of the the groups created a movie trailer depicting which product was the winner.

Biology: Biochemistry
What do two seemingly opposite subjects, chemistry and biology, have in common. That was the topic explored by the 10th graders recently. After a good deal of research and study about these two topics, the learners created their own movies depicting the "Love/Hate" relationship between biology and chemistry.

8th Grade Global Studies: Middle Ages
Our learners put a new twist on an old topic. Their job - to create a newspaper that could have been published in the Middle Ages. Groups researched everything from the economy and political events to the social aspects of that society. Then they put themselves in the role of a reporter to create, edit and publish a newspaper.

Algebra II: Speedwalking anyone?
How can we solve complex scenarios involving exponents? Sounds pretty complicated. Does it really apply to anything in our daily life, much less anything that could remotely be thought of as recreation? Well, Mr. Dustin Rose had his group of learners use a formula for graphing radical functions after reviewing the rules and math behind speedwalking. His learners even challenged him to a little speedwalking competition of their own.
