Process
In a year long expedition the 7th grade learned about the foundations of Western Civilization through the eyes of major leaders. The expedition culminated with a leadership summit which featured a Socratic Discussion from leaders of our community and a student work gallery. Within the gallery were posters comparing Alexander The Great to Julias Ceasar, Dream Houses created by Math students and a living History museum where students took on the role of an influential world leader past and present.
