How is this class different from others?
"I think it gives us a more creative approach to regular assignments and it is more project-based, which I like because I definitely think I think more creatively than I do on a regular assignment." Lilly Barton, 12
"I think it’s different from others because we get more freedom in what we want to do in class and what the topics we research are. For example, we did an essay and we got to choose the period of literature we were researching and how we wanted to show what we learned about it, via project, or powerpoint, or something like that." Grace Hotchkiss, 12
"I think that the level at which students control their learning has really set it apart from other classes. And each project or activity that we do, it’s really up to us to kind of like outline what path we want to take it down, so we can detail everything about the project that we want, whether it’s the rubric, the timeline; for example, one of my projects, I made playlist, showcasing my creativity, and i think that most classes can’t really replicate that, but this class has really allowed us students to embrace our individuality and kind of use that to our advantage when we do these projects." Spencer Beckett, 12
"I think this class is different from others because it gives me a time during my day where you know sometimes I may have a busy schedule that week or a busy day where I can like do something that I am passionate about that maybe I wouldn't normally have the chance to do like during a typical week. But because I have this class I can work on something that I enjoy or that something I think can make a difference." Owen Kirkham, 12
"We have a lot of freedom to do what we want. And personally I dislike language arts so this class seemed like a good option for me because I don't like busy work. This class has given me a bigger appreciate for language arts because I am able to use it in a way that I actually enjoy." Zoe Gravitt, 12
"It's very casual, self-paced and a lot less stressful than others." Allison Tarone, 12
"I would say that there’s obviously a very big independence part of the class but there’s still an aspect of being handheld, sort of, it’s not completely free rain which I like as well. Also, the class itself is small and made up of people who want to be there and want to express themselves. I have nothing against underclassmen and you get thrown into an elective classroom with a group of all grades sometimes but being in a class with just juniors and seniors is very nice since you guys are all sort of at the same level in life." Sarah Williams, 12
