Student Work
Take a look at some of the student drawings and digital art pieces previous 8th-grade classes made to introduce themselves. Students picked 8 symbols to represent their personality, beliefs, and interests. They then recorded a presentation of their drawing so that their peers could get to know them better in our virtual classes. This is an assignment we do in the first week of school.
Our Ligon 8th graders are wonderful students and have a wide variety of interests. Check back again after we finish Module 1 to see new student pieces.
