As Mr. Smith's AP Lang students prepare to read John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, they were placed in groups and tasked with synthesizing sources on topics such as the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl, and migrant labor in the 1930s. Each group was asked to provide 4-5 different types of sources (i.e., articles, podcasts, videos, etc.) and then explain what those sources have to say about their topics. Upon finishing their research, each group will present their findings to the rest of the class.
Mrs. Norris’s AP U.S. History students spent the day at our local archives to research the history of schools in Upson County. From textbooks used in one-room schoolhouses to vintage yearbooks, they learned how schools have evolved over time!

Mrs. Hardeman's Honors Advanced Algebra students are studying polynomial functions and their graphs. They are using technology to identify key features of the graph and analyze its behavior. Finally, students are tasked with sketching the graph and displaying all the key features for each type of polynomial function. This activity serves as an excellent review to help students prepare for their quiz and test later this week.
