8th graders presented their final projects for our Twelfth Night unit. Their job was to write the next act in Twelfth Night, where they imagine how Malvolio gets revenge on those who have wronged him. In addition to writing the play in Shakespearean English, they also wrote a response explaining the choices they made and giving evidence to support their choices. 


Kindergarten was so excited to go to their Field Trip at the Arvada Center!
