Students learned about Frida's life and about the impact that she made in the world of art and beyond. Kahlo was known for her self-portraits, and students created their own self-portraits emulating Frida's surrealist style.

In English 2, we are studying Transcendentalism and the essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. Students had to work in groups to select comic strips (like Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts) and identify which pillar or tenet of Transcendentalism the comic strips were displaying. Those pillars include Free Thought, Non-Conformity, The Importance of Nature, Self-Reliance, Confidence, and Simplicity. Students were asked to write an analysis of the comic and how it connects to the pillar, as well as use text evidence from the writers being studied to support their ideas.
