My Project

Our students love to research, explore, create, and collaborate. Our students will work together to shine a light on areas of injustice and inequity that will contribute to a better community.

Our students will use the literature to research inequity and injustice topics, and the presentation tools to demonstrate their activism.

From artistic dance performances to persuasive writing, students will use their STEM and content knowledge in this Black history month centered PBL to help raise awareness in the school, community and beyond to demonstrate their commitment to global citizenship.

Ms. Scott Middle School 35 Stephen Decatur Grades 6-8
