Each year teachers release theircreativity in order to make assignments more unique, fun, and definitely unforgettableMr. Kohnes chemistry class this winter tried to takeon a new assignment that neither the students nor Mr.Kohne had ever done before: creating a human sizeperiodic table videotaped to the ever fast song TheElements.Ive always done a project on the periodic table. Thekids have always done posters on the elements before.Last year we tried individual videos about the elementsthat didnt really work out that well. And Ive knownabout this element song for years and Id seen a coupleof animations, and thought itd be kind of neat if we dida life-sized periodic table, Mr. Kohne said.In Mr. Talberts painting class, painting got way morethree-dimensional when one of their new assignmentswas announced: to paint ostrich eggs.It turned out a friend of mine had this extra supply ofeggs and didnt know what to do with them and hethought of my painting class, so I thought it might befun to see what they could do with them from thisparticular historical standpoint of these imperial eggs,Mr. Talbert said.Students in the class also seemed to appreciatemixing things up.It was different...It was kind of silly because we hadto paint an ostrich egg. Ive never done that before andit was fun because we got to use glitter and all thatshiny stuff, senior Krystel Baker said.r iifmJmm BBbwIn Mrs. Norriss German classes, a German traditionallowed students to learn more about German cultureduring the holidays, while also allowing them to usetheir creativity and eat a few sweets during theprocess.
