Academic Showcase!

At Academic Showcase this year, students in 7th grade U.S. History displayed an interactive American Revolution timeline using a Comic Strip creation app in combination with an augmented reality tool, Aurasma. Each comic strip became an interactive learning experience when scanned with the Aurasma app!


In 8th Grade U.S. History students displayed their National Park comic strip projects. Students used Visual Poetry to show what they know about the United States National Park System.
