Although the 9th Grade Global Studies classes of
Mr. Katagiri and Mr. Thela, were unable to host a
Medieval Fair Night this year, the students
displayed their comprehension of the Middle Ages
in Europe while presenting their projects and
research virtually in class. After choosing a topic
of interest, students conducted research to
construct a physical project that represented the
topic. As a modification to in-person presentations
of exhibits, students constructed slide shows in
which they imbedded research as well as videos
and pictures demonstrating artifacts they created.
Many of the people, ideas, technologies, and
catastrophes from the period that had a great
impact on the world today were represented.
Students displayed a wide range of historical
projects demonstrating food, architecture, disease,
weapons, and much more. Check out some projects here:

Thank you to our HS Living Environment teachers Ms. Sharkey and Ms. DuBois for bringing us March Madness!
March Mammal Madness (inspired by the NCAA basketball tournament) is a nationwide tournament of simulated battles amongst 65 animals to start. Students researched the animals and predicted their winners based on adaptations/characteristics of the various animals. Who is the fastest? Who is venomous? Who has the best fight style or even the most motivation. Battle outcomes are released from a team of researchers and we are following closely to see who will be the 2021 March Mammal Madness Champion!!!
