Collage Project

7th graders are currently learning about perspective: self in relation to others.

In order to continue exploring this theme, 
students created collages that reflected different groups of people and their values

For example, the collage from Period 2 and 3 on the left-hand side
reflects the Brookland neighborhood community and their values.
