Lights, Camera, Action!
Mrs. Dangman’s and Ms. Fasullo’s English II classes took a creative twist on To Kill a Mockingbird by hosting their very own Dr. Phil-style interviews!
Students stepped into character by writing thoughtful questions for Dr. Phil, crafting well-developed answers, and even responding to audience questions on the spot! The challenge? Thinking quickly about how their character would react based on the first part of the novel.
To make it even more fun, students brought microphones, donned swim caps (for their best Dr. Phil look!), and accessorized according to their character. Talk about a unique way to prepare for the Part 1 Assessment!
It was a blast watching everyone bring the world of To Kill a Mockingbird to life while demonstrating their deep understanding of characterization.
Mrs. Koskinski's APUSH students created historical Valentines on Valentine's Day. The prize was a small amount of extra credit so, the competition was pretty fierce.
