Big Doings

This is a photo Fran took (and posted on Facebook) of one little portion of one of our whiteboards. Come check it out anytime, because I'm not erasing anything from it until June, if then.

The twenty-one rows of the chart represent our plans for the semester, not counting any of the specials classes, though there is plenty of integration, especially with Art and Music. Here are the titles for each row:

Identity Projects

Identity Exhibitions

Athletics & PE

Place out of Time

Lit Publications

Work Crews

Americans

Student Government

Detroit

Cities Books

Cities Projects

Cities Exhibitions

High School 101

Theater 2014-2015

Graduation

Maker Faire

Mythology Lit Circles

Mythology Projects

Spring Trip

Math Assessments

Final Exhibitions

The columns run January through June, with a PS for September--several of these topics will carry over into the 2014-2015 school year. The idea behind the giant chart was to integrate and coordinate as much work as possible, and to set an ambitious agenda that we could constantly preview and review. We took a little time on each day of the first full week back (January 13-17) to talk through the various topics. You can expect further illumination on each of these, both plans and progress, from future blog posts, to the tune of one or two a week.
