Interdisciplinary Connections in Language Arts

In the 8th grade, we will be writing our Artist Statements in both Art class and Language Arts class, emphasizing the idea of artistic point of view. Later this spring, we will be exploring topics from Social Studies through the musical The Band’s Visit and learning about the musical aspects of the show with Christina! In the 7th grade, our Pay It Forward Project, a capstone of the year, will include writing children’s books about our topics and the activists who champion change. We will also engage in some science writing and even read a scene from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream through a lens of climate change!
