Just because you can, does it mean you should??

ELA 11 classes used their creative flair to create their own Frankenstein Monsters in order to solidify an understanding of adaptation in fiction. This engaging lesson also ties to the next standard of technology in society. Students grapple with the idea of answering that if these creatures could be created, should they be? What would be the ramifications of these creations to society, good or bad? It is a marvelous lesson to both review ideas and introduce new ones.

This past week, our dedicated student council members visited Roosevelt-McGrath Elementary to celebrate Reading Month by sharing their love for reading with younger students. Through engaging read-aloud sessions, they inspired a new generation of readers while fostering a sense of community and connection between our high school and the elementary school.
