Mrs. Cavanaugh's AP Lit students playing “Literary Jenga” for their study of The Kite Runner. Each Jenga piece had a color on it which corresponded to a series of tasks students could complete about the novel. These tasks ranged from identifying irony or figurative language to creating whole new symbolic covers for the book. Each color was worth a different amount of “points” and the team with the most points at the end of the hour, won!

Griffins! Photo retake will take place next week on Thursday, September 29th at Lincoln-Way East. Stop by the auditorium during your lunch hours.
