Paul Robeson 4th Grade examined various ways in which Earth's surface and resources change. One ensemble focused on science, exploring the natural formation and changes of the New Jersey Highlands through weathering, erosion, and deposition. The other two classes used a Social Studies lens, examining human influence on the City of Paterson and the Lenape Wampum belt. These investigations culminated in three theatrical pieces using movement and language to express cross-curricular understandings.
