Students in my Honors English III class were asked to write four lines about their ideology of "the American Dream." They did not know I was going to have them stand up in class and read them aloud with music behind them.

***I was introduced to this idea at the Get Your Teach Conference in the summer of 2023. Simply put music behind the students when they present their ideas and it changes the energy!

Students from Mrs. Bey's English III American Literature Class engage with an exhibit focused on the Transatlantic Slave Trade. After reading "The Interesting Narrative of Olaudah Equiano" and completing a document based essay on the stakeholders of the Middle Passage, students participated in a scavenger hunt for information connecting the two informational texts. Dr. Walker, Ms. Huey, Mrs. Brown, and Ms. Wright brought their classes, and even Principal Robinson and Ms. Ruff stopped by to check out the exhibit!

Who knew reading children's books was still so much fun! Students in Mrs. Bey's Creative Writing Class Presented Children's Book Analysis Presentations where they chose a children's book from the hundred I brought from the public library and did an in-depth analysis of the book based on figurative language, Illustrations, content and much more. Students read the book to the class, then presented their slides! (I'm very proud of what they accomplished.
