ATTENTION 9th Graders!
As you are looking through the websites for TKM, please leave a comment about either the Scottsboro Boys Trial or the student help site so that I know you read through them.
Thank you!
There's a story about the attached picture: "The sculpture standing in Guanajuato City reminds us, however, of the hero's extraordinary capabilities. He dares to act on his own, without waiting for orders. . He is a man of creativity, transferring to the battlefield the experience acquired at the mines. He risks his own life to save his countrymen. He is a man of initiative, single-handed taking the offensive and leading his people to victory." (http://www.mexonline.com/amigonews/sbc01.htm)

Romantic Period -- In-class poetry projects
We are studying the Romantic Period in 12th Grade British Literature. In order to take a closer look at the poetry from the time period, each student analyzed one poem and represented their analysis visually. The pictures show a few samples of what they came up with -- I have a very creative bunch!
