Over the past week, students completed their Gothic creative writing assessment, focusing on building tension, descriptive language and atmosphere. After finishing their stories, they designed a full book cover, including a front-cover illustration and a back-cover blurb, to present their writing professionally. This follow-up project allowed them to apply creativity, reflect on their story\u2019s themes and gain insight into how real books are designed. The class worked with great focus and produced impressive, creative pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
IMYC<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In geography, students learned how the War-Khasi people of Northeast India build \u201cliving bridges\u201d by guiding the roots of rubber trees across rivers over many years. After exploring images and discussing why these bridges are needed during heavy monsoon floods, the students worked in groups to design and build their own mini root-bridge models using straws, string, and other materials. Then they created annotated sketches explaining how their designs mimicked the real bridges. The activity helped students understand how people use their environment creatively and sustainably to solve everyday challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Science, students created an effective presentation explaining important scientific vocabulary. They were given a set of guiding questions to help structure their work, such as defining the term, describing what it helps us understand, identifying the problem it helps solve, giving real-life examples, and showing how the concept can be demonstrated through a simple experiment. Students also included diagrams or images to support their explanations and discussed the key signs or features that show when the scientific idea is happening in real life.
