Student Work

It should go without saying that my students are brilliant, funny, and just freakin' awesome people to be around.  I am always impressed by their academic work, but sometimes their creative work really blows my mind.

Advanced Placement Language and Composition is NOT a particularly creative class.  I give them a teeny tiny window to express their creativity... and they run with it. 

Here are some particularly fabulous ones.

Kailee and Evan's Catcher in the Rye trailer

Dailey, Daisy, Kay, Kelly, and Vivian's Glass Castle trailer


Berina and Ajla's Catcher in the Rye trailer

Adis, Ajla, Berina, Dzevida, and Ish's Scarlet Letter video

Bails, Emma, and Neila's Catcher video

Alanna, Natale, Chris, and Leonely's Two Trains Running video



Alex's SUPER creative book interpretations:

1.  The cottage from A Thousand Pieces of Gold made out of CUT cardboard








2.  Holden Caulfield's head -- one side is his 16-year-old side and the other is his childlike nature MADE ENTIRELY OUT OF SODA CANS!




Here is also the newly formed Young Filmers Club award winning recycling video!
