Comic Strips:  Creativity

Mrs. Levy’s class studied about Henrico History.  After their research on the topic, students were challenged to create a comic strip to represent a famous place in Henrico County which they learned about. Students did the speech bubbles and fancy titling on Comic Life then they hand drew the characters.  This is a great idea to limit the color ink consumption but more importantly allow students to truly be creative and draw their own representation for original work.  CLICK HERE FOR RUBRIC

Discovery the Electoral College:

Mrs. Meal’s class is getting ready for the Nov. Presidential elections.

Students use past presidential information to determine trends in voting habits of different states/regions, while learning how the president becomes elected and the difference between popular vote and the electoral college.  CLICK HERE for more information.
