We designed a piece of art to depict how we visualized the latest novel that we read. It was incredible. The girls really came through although I am not surprised. They love the opportunity to be creative. The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd was the assignment which presents themes of coming-of-age, the power of the female community, the irrationality of racism, and of course the secret life of bees. It's a powerful novel. We explored symbols, motifs, themes, characters, and conflict/resolution. My students were very motivated by the novel.

More to come regarding what evolved.........
