Students in Lit Comp II with Ms. Spence and Ms. Schroeder recently completed a Project-Based Learning (PBL) task to conclude their study of Elie Wiesel’s memoir Night. The goal of the project was to analyze the memoir to examine its warnings about dehumanization, indifference, and the consequences of hatred. Using textual evidence, literary analysis, and visual symbolism, students developed a creative multimodal product to communicate the central theme or message from the memoir to a modern audience. Students chose their mode of communication and included an artist’s statement explaining their literary interpretation and the significance of their design choices. These were presented to the class this week.
This work supports our school STEAM initiative and goals as well as the BCSS district priorities, building on strong professional learning to provide quality Tier 1 instruction. Engaging students in the PBL process and encouraging inquiry and creativity also help support improved classroom experiences and, therefore, student attendance.
