Students read and illustrate Canterbury Tales
By Haydn Mclay
SJS English and
Social Studies teacher
The visuals inspired
by Geoffrey Chaucer's
masterwork represent
the culture, class, and
personality of each char-
acter from the Middle
Ages.
Students utilized
lecture, discussion,
Socratic Seminar, and
independent research
while designing their
pilgrim. Some charac-
ters were more difficult
to identify, such as the
Nun's priest encourag-
ing the student instead
to focus on the main
character of her tale:
Chanticleer, the rooster.
Each student was re-
quired to visually repre-
sent their pilgrim's mo-
tivation, also.

Learning about Mayan Culture
The l Oth-12th grade students teach the 4th/5th grade
students about Mayan Culture in social studies class
Stephanle Bushbaum teaches the 4th/5th grade students: Wyatt
Topping, Jacob Jackman, Ayla Carter, Kirk Wheeler and Max Mason.
Raven Elmore helps the 4th/5th grade students play a game.
For the Ancient Maya student teaching assignment, students
needed to actively engage their younger peers in their specific
topics, such as: the Mayan long count, a timeline of important
dates in Mayan history, famous archaeological sites, Mayan art,
and the geography of modem Mesoamerica and ancient Mayan
city-states. Students incorporated figure drawing, Q/A sessions, a
game of myths, and hands on learning.
Afterwards the 4th/5th graders tested their knowledge in a re-
markable scavenger hunt where Mayan knowledge was their key
to the next clue.
