History Comes Alive At JEC HS 

In conjunction with their reading of the novel “Light in the Forest,” about a Lenni Lenape teenager in the 1700s, Ms. Frey’s 10th grade students had a Gallery Walk featuring topics related to American Indian history and culture. Students had to do research, write informative blurbs and then create a poster or other project to illustrate their topic. This year’s Gallery Walk featured extremely creative projects. Some of them included: construction of miniature American Indian dwellings, sand painting artwork, a replica—that moved—of how buffalo were herded, vegetable salsa made out of typical American Indian ingredients and a mock Indian headdress made with feathers. Most of all, the students were really engaged in their hands-on learning and enjoyed viewing each other’s projects.
