This learning experience, centered around researching and creating a magazine cover about a famous Black American, offered a rich opportunity for student growth. Students delved into the lives and achievements of their chosen individual, gaining critical content knowledge about history, culture, and social impact. This research phase allowed for the development of the Henrico Learner Profile (HLP) durable skill of critical thinking, as students learned to effectively research, analyze information, and synthesize findings. The subsequent writing of a research paper further reinforced content knowledge and refined this HLP skill through concise writing, evidence-based claims, and proper citation. Creating the magazine cover required students to distill key information into a visually appealing format, developing the HLP of creative thinking and communication by presenting research in a new medium and considering visual communication. Throughout the project, students were encouraged to reflect on their learning process, considering challenges, strategies, strengths, weaknesses, and the evolution of their understanding. This experience naturally fostered essential skills: collaboration through peer interaction, creative thinking in magazine design, critical thinking through source evaluation and analysis, global citizenship by understanding diverse perspectives, communication through writing and presentations, and character development by encouraging perseverance and respect. By integrating these elements, this project became a powerful tool for promoting content knowledge, developing the HLP durable skills, and fostering reflective growth.
