Last week in Anthropology, students learned about the difference between observation and inference in a Garbology Activity. Students sifted through garbage, recorded what they found, and then tried to reconstruct the events that led to the generation of the garbage.

Last week in class students learned that data tells you lots of things, but there are many things data doesn't tell you and we fill in the blanks with our assumptions and biases.

To kick-off a unit about the Great Depression, students in U.S. History played the stock market. Students tried to game the system and make out rich. Some succeeded while many others didn't. It was a fun way to get out of our seats and moving around!

In Sue Ann's Humanities class we've been studying Greek mythology. While studying the story of Pandora's box students created their own version of the box. It was designed to entice others to want to open the box to see what was inside. 

Inside are a modern versions of the woes and grief of modern day. And if course, hope!

Recently in Elinda's English classes, students used children's books to review parts of a story before analyzing story lines in movies.
